Dear all As you will have read in the email from HR dated 28.12.2023, we must enter absences in the new Times system with immediate effect. The procedure will be as follows: 1. Everyone requests the absences as usual from Kaspar and gives me the signed form. A confirmation by e-mail is also possible then please put me in the CC. 2. *All employees enter their absences themselves in Times, at the latest by the end of the month in which the absence occurs. * 3. I must confirm the monthly entries by the third of the following month. You can access the application via this link <https://idserver.inovasaas.ch/account/login>. The user manuel and tutorials for using the new system can be found here <https://intern.unibe.ch/dienstleistungen/personal/personalapplikationen/einfuehrung_time/fuer_mitarbeitende/index_ger.html> (intranet). Absences that must be entered: Vacations, Military, Illness... *As doctoral students and postdocs, you still only record your absences.* *Research assistants and teaching assistants must also record their working hours* Please contact me in case of questions. Many thanks for your cooperation. Best Bettina -- Institut für Informatik Neubrückstrasse 10 CH-3012 Bern +41 31 684 84 26
