Work anniversary

25th, 40th or 50th anniversary

Employees celebrating 25, 40 or 50 years of state employment receive both a bonus and an extra day off with pay. The day off with pay is normally a day off on the day of the reception. Thus the employee does not have to work on the day of the reception. If due to working circumstances the employee cannot take the day off on the day of the reception, another day off with pay is agreed upon with his/her immediate supervisor.

The employee’s years of service are calculated from when he/she first started working for the Danish state. HR calculates the employee’s years of service and informs the employee and his/her immediate supervisor of the anniversary date.

On his/her anniversary, the employee receives an anniversary bonus, an anniversary diploma and an anniversary gift from Aarhus University.

If the employee wishes, Aarhus University will mark the anniversary with a celebration, at which the diploma and the gift will be presented. The date and details of the celebration should be agreed on with the employee’s immediate supervisor.

Anniversary gifts

The employee may choose between several different anniversary gifts and will receive a personal link and password to the university’s gift webshop via email. The password must be activated within ten day of receiving the email. The gift will then be sent to the employee’s department secretariat, which will arrange for the gift to be presented.
We also have a couple of our previous gifts, which you can still choose - as long as stock lasts. You can see them by logging in on the gift webshop.
