    As standard, every UT employee has (at least) two (from 2024 onwards: three) personal development days each year, to spend on their development/training within the scope of Recognition and Rewards and/or continuing employability. There are study facilities, an internal training offer, but also access to online courses such as Good Habitz and Futurelearn. For more information, see; A quickstart to development possibilities page.

    By default, you work 40 hours with full-time employment. Alternatively, you can choose a 36 or 38 hours work week. In addition, you can deviate from the standard working hours in consultation with your manager.

    If you work part-time, make sure your working pattern is listed in MyHR/Afas correctly. This is important for holiday hours and other calculations like the home working allowance. You can adjust the working pattern via MyHR/Afas > “change working pattern”.
