As an employee of Uppsala University you may have many questions concerning your employment. In the following you will find some information about what we feel is most important for you to know as well as the rights and obligations you have as an employee. Your employment is either conditional tenure or short-term contract. If you are replacing someone who has a leave of absence you are working on a temporary basis as a substitute.
Conditional tenure is the form of employment that provides the greatest job security.
If you have conditional tenure, you are allowed to take a leave of absence to accept short-term employment within the state sector if this is covered by the ALFA agreement. Moreover, you have the possibility of taking a leave of absence for a limited period of time to work somewhere else, if your employer permits. Salary Your salary is set individually by your head of department or corresponding official after an assessment has been made of the type of work you will be doing as well as your individual competence in carrying out these tasks. You can read about the University's salary policy, which forms the basis for salary assessment, in the University's personnel policy program, which is available at your department, or corresponding body. There are special guidelines for teachers regarding minimum levels for increased salary upon completion of a PhD degree or upon attaining qualification as an associate professor.
