DTU closing days

DTU is closed—and thus has mandatory holidays—in the following periods:

• Between Christmas and New Year
• Friday after Ascension Day.

Individual employees may be ordered to work during these periods.

Your manager must ensure—in as far as possible—that you have accrued paid holiday for all the days on which DTU is closed. Notification of holiday to be taken between Christmas and New Year is therefore given already in October.

If you are a new employee and have been employed for the whole holiday year (i.e. the period from 1 September) and until the mandatory holidays—working days between Christmas and New Year and Friday after Ascension Day—you will generally have accrued paid holiday for all days of closure. If this is not the case, you can choose to take holiday in advance.

If you leave your position at DTU before the holiday has been accrued, DTU will set off the holiday taken against your salary or outstanding holiday pay claim. If you are required to work on mandatory holidays, you will receive days off in lieu.

Commencement

The Guidelines for holidays and special days of holiday have been approved by the Executive Board and discussed by the Cooperation and Joint Consultation Committee on 23 March 2020. The guidelines become effective when published on DTU Inside.

Amendments

The guidelines may be amended at three months’ notice following a review by the Cooperation and Joint Consultation Committee. Any amendments will be communicated via DTU Inside.
