After a funding decision has been made, the principal investigator begins preparations for recruiting project staff. The recruitment must be authorised by the Rector, the (Vice) Dean or the head of the research centre.
Recruitment methods, salary principles and supervisory relationships are agreed on with HR before beginning the recruitment process. The job titles and their respective competence levels (as outlined in the collective TES agreement) are determined in the salary principles.
After the recruitment ends, the principal investigator / supervisors submits an employment proposal to the HR expert responsible for the project’s employment contracts. The HR expert inputs the employment relationship information into the Personec HR system and delivers the employment contract to the Rector / Dean and researcher for signing.
The possible employment of employees working on hourly salary is decided on by the units based on the salary decision. Employment contracts must be made beforehand and they must specify the job descriptions and the monthly maximum of working hours. Working hours and working time allocation are discussed and agreed upon during the recruitment process.
