Human Resources formalities

This page will contain our various HR peculiarities, but not replace official HR information.

There are two types of working hour systems used on our team: “regular working hours” (track all your time, work a certain amount per day) or “total working hours” (academic system, work a certain number of hours per year and no one looks at the distribution). For our team (and what is on this page) it doesn’t matter much, but is good to keep in mind when talking to others.

The Workday system is used to request vacation time. It is important that vacation is properly requested, especially for certain funded projects for which the funder does not pay vacation time. Workday tracks by-day. It is also the general HR information system.

The Tiima system is used to record daily working time - by hour. As your balance goes up/down, you can transfer a bit to vacation days (to workday) - this is the relation between the system. Some people use Tiima exactly, some don’t at all. You should use it unless you choose to forgo the balance-tracking system and handle only things by day.
