You have something to do with us!
You may not even know us or think that you've never had anything to do with us - but that's not true if you work in academia at the University of Bonn. We are usually active in the background when it comes to job advertisements, recruitment and other personnel measures. We also work closely with the university management and the administration on your behalf on issues such as "mobile working/teleworking", "mobility issues" or health management.
The representation of employees' interests is divided between various staff councils: There is the PR BTV (for technical and administrative employees of the university), the PRwiss (for academic employees of the university and the university hospital) and separate staff councils at the UKB for other employees of the university hospital. We cooperate with these staff councils on many overlapping topics while others are dealt with separately.
The duties of Staff Councils are regulated in the LPVG NRW (Landespersonalvertretungsgesetz). They encompass "collective measures", which concern all employees, as well as "individual measure", which concern individuals personally.
Topics
We would like to bring to your attention some of the topics we are involved with. Further documents and information can be found under the topic A-Z.
Mobile Working / Teleworking (DV MA/AT)
The first applications for MA/AT have to be renewed. You will find information in this regard in the Confluence area of the university administration (access via Bonnet or VPN)
Abuse of Power
The specifics of universities and their inherent hierarchies are conducive to abuse of power.
