4.4 Working time

 Aalto University has two working time systems: total working time for research and teaching staff (excludingBachelor and Master students) and regular working time for all other staff.

The working time and work plan of the research and teaching staff

o  Total working time system

Research and teaching staff are in the system based on total working time (excluding the Bachelor and Masterstudents), of 1,600 hours per year, including research, teaching and its preparation, artistic activities, societalservices and support functions. The allocation of working time is discussed yearly with the superior (work plan).

o  Work plan

Personnel working in the total working hour system, will compile an annual work plan together with their

supervisor. The work plan for the academic year (1.8.–31.7.) should be recorded in the Personec HR systemby the end of June at the latest. The work plan is approved by the department head or an authorized personbefore 1st August. If there is a significant change in work duties or work time during the academic year, theemployee needs to update the work plan.

Work time allocations and announcements are made in the system called Halli. 

More information: Inside / Total working hours

1,600-hour and free time:

The concept of annual holiday does not apply to teaching and research staff with a total

working time of 1,600 hours. Any time exceeding 1,600 hours is considered free time,and therefore, no holiday tracking is used. Holidays are taken within the framework ofthe work plan.

The absences have to be reported in the Halli and Personec ESS systems.

Saved leave and holiday bonus leave do not apply to those working on total workingtime. 

The working time of the other staff

o  Regular working time

Work-hour tracking (Timecon system) is applied to all staff in the regular working-hour system (7 h 15 min perday, 36 h 15 min per week). Departments can decide whether tracking is applied also to the students who areemployed as research assistants.

Flexible hours in the morning are from 6:30 to 9:30 and in the evening from 14:00 to 20:00. The 30 minutelunch break isn't a part of the working time.

Use your keycard for signing in and out with the Timecon machine. Inform changes to Timecon signing by e-mail to tyoaika-elec@aalto.fi and to your supervisor.

More information: Inside / Regular working hours 

Recording working hours in Halli system

 All the employees working in externally funded projects or engaged in the university´s core activities (meaningteaching, research, artistic activity and societal impact), allocate their working hours in the Halli system. Thoseworking exclusively in service functions don’t need to allocate their working hours to Halli. Department’s HRSecretary will advise new employees on how to record working hours and make a report in the Halli system.The changes in the projects you are working for have to be recorded also in the Halli follow-up system. Pleasecontact the financial secretary for any changes.

More information: Inside / Halli, recording Working Hours and Department’s Halli contact persons 

4.5  Annual holiday

Research and teaching staff (total working time): work obligation and freetime

The time exceeding the work obligation of 1,600 hours per year, is defined as free time for those in the totalworking-time system. Research and teaching staff have a right to have free time when their 1 600-hour workplan allows it and they have their superior’s approval of the suggested days/period. No holiday records are kept

and holiday compensation is not paid at the termination of the employment relationship. A notional annualholiday entitlement is defined for the purpose of paying the holiday bonus in July and at the end of employment.Special arrangements, such as “carried-over-leave” and “exchange of holiday bonus for days off” do not applyto the staff on total working time.

Regardless of the working time system (regular or total) the planned period of holidayalways has to be agreed upon in advance and approved by the superior. 

 Annual hol iday for other staff (regular working time)

 Annual holiday is accrued in accordance with the table below. The columns show the full holiday credit months

accrued.

Examples of how to read the table:

Case 1: contract time 3 months, holiday accrual 6 days

Case 2: contract time 3 months, holiday accrual 7 days

The calculation of 15 years’ service cover full-time service to the current employer or to another Finnishuniversity, or any other branch of governmental service (excluding time spent in conscripted or non-militaryservice, crisis management and peacekeeping duties, or job release time other than sick leave or family leave). Also duties for another employer in Finland or abroad are taken in consideration if these are consideredessential for performing the employee’s current duties.

o  Taking annual holiday

•  The holiday must always be agreed upon with the superior and is subject to thesuperior’s/employer’s approval.

•  It is recommended that 4–5 weeks are taken during the summer holiday period extending from 1.6.to 30.9. A minimum of 10 days of continuous holiday (2 weeks) must be taken at a time. It is

possible to take the remaining holiday as one single period or to split it up.•  Intended holiday periods must be reported in the Personec ESS system, except for those who work

part time. Please note: If the Personec ESS system is not in use in the department, the intendedholiday must be announced by application form which has to be approved by the superior, andthen forwarded to the department’s HR Secretary.

•  Only workdays from Monday to Friday are counted as days off, so a holiday period from Mondayto Sunday normally takes 5 days away from the total number of days the employee is entitled to.There are a few exceptions: if public holidays (e.g. Christmas Eve, Midsummer Eve, FinnishIndependence Day of 6.12., May Day) fall on a workday from Monday to Friday, they are notcounted in the number of spent holiday days. For example if you have taken your holiday on theweek 25 from Monday to Sunday, and Friday being a public holiday (Midsummer Eve), only thedays from Monday to Thursday will be counted as days off and only 4 days will be taken away fromthe balance.

•  The annual holiday has to be taken before the next holiday period.

o  Holiday bonus and hol iday bonus leave

The holiday bonus is based on the holiday accrued in the previous holiday credit year. The bonus is paid inJuly with the payment of the monthly salary. The conversion of part of the holiday bonus into leave must beapplied for, and approved by the superior in the spring. This arrangement is not possible for the staff workingin the total working time system.

o  Saving annual holiday

Employees on the regular working time may carry over that part of the annual leave which exceeds 20 days ofthe total accrued holiday, provided that it does not impede the university service. The saving must be appliedfor, and approved in the spring. This arrangement is not possible for the staff working in the total working timesystem.

o  Part-time work and annual holiday

Part-time employees with less than 35 hours/month do not accrue holiday but they are still paid proportionalholiday compensation.

Part-time employees working at least 35 hours/month accrue annual holiday on the same basis as full-timeworkers. The part-time worker should take the holiday in full calendar weeks. Taking separate days off must

be agreed upon with the superior.

For example, an employee works 30 hrs/week

Case 1. S/he works 5 days per week (6 hrs/day) – one full week of holiday will take 5 days from annual holiday.

Case 2. The same employee works 4 days/week (7.5 hrs/day) and has one leveling-out day (=day off) in thereference period of one week – if the person is on holiday the whole week, his/her accrued annual holiday will

be reduced by 5 days (4 working days and 1 leveling-out day).

More information: Inside /  Annual holiday
