LEAVE WITHOUT SALARY. An employee who wants leave without salary should apply for this as soon as possible, however no later than 3 months before the leave will commence. In his/her application, the employee should state the desired time period for leave. Leave until further notice cannot be granted. During examination of the leave application, in its assessment Chalmers should place the operational interests (disadvantages/advantages) against societal interests and the interest of the individual. Leave without salary can be granted for certain duration for state and municipal assignments and international assignments, for example, SIDA. The assessment is done by the head of department or president in consultation with the relevant manager and HR specialist for consistent handling. Such reasons may include achieving development and learning in the organisation. Internal lending of resources is regulated through a written agreement between the relevant managers. If an employee permanently and without support by legislation wants to reduce working hours, the scope of the employment should normally be changed.
