For all employees at the department, accrued holiday with pay is preregistered in mitHR. In practice, this means that your holiday and special holidays will be registered for use as outlined below:
Holiday (accrued from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026):
Special holidays (accrued from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2025):
If you are newly employed and have not earned entitlement to special holidays, you can either take your special holidays without pay or shorten the length of your summer holiday.
Holiday accrued in the above period must be taken from 1 September 2025 to 23 December 2026. Special holidays are earned in a calendar year and can be taken from 1 May to 30 April in the following year.
Danish public holidays and paid days off at AU:
If you wish to take your holiday on dates other than the preregistered, please contact Inger Kristensen or request a change of registration in mitHR (must be done at least five working days before the start of the holiday and not retrospectively). If you change the preregistered days, please remember to enter the same number of days.
If you do not take a minimum of three weeks’ summer holiday (the main holiday), a written agreement must be made with the head of department, stating when the holiday will be taken instead.
