A fee may be paid if, based on a specific assessment, the assignments:
- Do not display features of an employment relationship and
- The work is not covered by a collective agreement.
Note: An assessment must be made as to whether the payment for the service is proportionate to what is paid for other similar services. The fee is paid as a one-off payment.
Pointers:
- The affiliation with AU is short-term.
- The person performing the work organises, manages, allocates and supervises the work without any authorisation from the university to issue instructions other than what was agreed at the time of conclusion of the agreement.
- The assignment is clearly defined in terms of time and the nature of the assignment.
Examples:
Fees for guest lecturers:
- Individual sessions lasting a limited number of days.
- Starting point => teaching assistant – hourly rate.
- Teaching assignments at a higher level => part-time lecturer – hourly rate.
- Guest lecturing/teaching at an extremely high level => agreed specifically.
Fees for consultancy assignments:
- Assessment: is payment for the service proportionate to what is paid for comparable services?
Fees for one-off lectures that are not part of a course.
Already employees (including part-time employees) at the university cannot receive a fee in the form off separate fee payments.
Requesting and payment of services by a company with its own CVR number is not covered by these guidelines.
Approval procedure:
- Payment of a separate fee of up to DKK 25,000 is to be approved locally by the authorising officer after delegation from the head of department/head of school/deputy director.
- Payment of a separate fee of between DKK 25,000 and DKK 50,000 must be approved by the head of department/head of school/deputy director.
- Payment of a separate fee of more than DKK 50,000 must be approved by the dean/university director on the recommendation of the head of department/head of school/deputy director.
A separate approval procedure has been agreed at Science and Technology for invoices for goods and services from external suppliers received via Indfak at civil reg. no.
