Ferie 2023

Vel overstått Påske. Håper alle fikk en fin ferie med venner og familie. Vær og føre var noe av det beste jeg kan huske for påskeferien.

Ikke alle tar ferie i Påsken men finner rolige dager å være en anledning til å få gjort faglig arbeid eller at det er en tidsfrist som gjør jobbing i Påsken nødvendig. Jeg vil her trekke fram Eystein Husebye og Helge Ræder som sendte en omfattende EU-søknad i går og derfor hadde innspurten for søknaden i løpet av Påsken. De fikk uvurderlig administrativ hjelp av bla. Corina Guder, Susanna Pakkasmaa, Andreas Westermoen og Håkon Solheim, til og mer på flere av helligdagene. Jeg vil takke alle i teamet for innsatsen, og vi krysser fingrene for en god prosess med positivt utfall!

Jeg vil til slutt minne om ferieregnskapet for 2023. Alle må innen 1. mai registrere i Selvbetjeningsportalen (https://www.uib.no/selvbetjeningsportalen) hvilke dager de planlegger å ta ferie. Det er mulig å bytte dager i etterkant. Det viktigste er at det legges inn antall dager som planlegges. Dette er ikke bare viktig for at K2 vet når K2s ansatte er tilstede eller borte, men det har betydning for budsjettet. Ferie som ikke er registrert eller tatt ut, vil markeres som gjeld i vårt regnskap for 2023 og forverre den økonomiske balansen. Så registrer planlagt ferie så snart som mulig og innen 1. mai!

Ha en riktig god helg!
