Insurance

Employees are covered by both the Consolidated Workers’ Compensation Act (Arbejdsskadesikringsloven) and the Consolidated Working Environment Act (Arbejdsmiljøloven), when performing a task at their place of employment. For this reason, it is important to define when a person is considered an “employee”. Read more about the definitions on STAFF.AU.DK or contact AU HR, Employment Law.

Interns/trainees/visiting students are not covered by AUs or RMs insurance

Generally speaking, interns/trainees are not covered by the Consolidated Workers’ Compensation Act. (However, there are a number of exceptions.) Because the starting point is that interns are not covered, It is important that the interns themselves clarify with their insurance company whether they are already covered during their time at SDCA – or if they need to take out an extra insurance policy. Please read more about insurance and other aspects of international internships on the AU websites: Student traineeships at AU and Information for hosts for international interns If you have questions in regard to an internship through Aarhus University, please contact the institute you belong to (under AU Health) If you have questions in regard to an insternship or another affiliation at SDCA, please contact auh.research.stenoaarhus@rm.dk.

MUS talks

MUS talks depend on one’s terms of employment. Ask Maria Siggaard () if you have questions regarding this.

Sick days, holidays, and time off

Taking days off for being sick, for parental leave, holidays, and any other reasons.

Holidays and “omsorgsdage”

The exact amount of holidays and time off you get depend on your terms of employment. For PhD students email your supervisor.
