Info about employee courses

VID has a separate training program for new employees which, among other things, includes shorter courses in various tools, handbooks, routines and systems that new employees in VID must familiarize themselves with. Visit the page Guide for new employees at VID on the intranet for further information.

Holiday

Vacation must be completed during the employee period, and must be registered in "Min Visma". It is not possible to use holiday days when the employment period is over. There is also no opportunity to "pay out" holiday days. For additional information, see also the personnel handbook.

Absence

Reduced working hours due to health, social and welfare reasons may give the right to an extension of the scholarship period. There are separate regulations for terms of employment for positions such as postdoctoral fellow, research fellow, scientific assistant and specialist candidate. § 2-3 of these regulations deal, among other things, with the extension of the employment period as a result of statutory and contractual absence. For additional information, see also the personnel handbook.

Connection of equipment

You will be assigned a PC, username and password by IT support at start-up. You must use the username later for Feide login and e-mail account. You will also receive an e-mail with information about your new e-mail address, as well as information about your mobile subscription.

Access

To be able to navigate in all our electronic systems, you must first create a user in Feide. You can then order your employee card in the service portal. You upload a photo to the card in the portal yourself. You must be connected to Eduroam in the college's premises to have a card created. Your employee card works as a library card in our libraries, a login card for the photocopier and an access card to the college's premises. Access to Endnote depends on the creation of Feide user. The access is created by the IT section. All VID's campuses use Eduroam. Find more information about logging in here.

Additional accesses

If you need access to SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), NVivo (data analysis tool for qualitative research) or VPN solution for home office, you can apply for this to your center manager.

My Visma

VID uses the computer program Visma for reimbursement of expenses, registration of absence and vacation. Visma is available in English. We offer training courses for new employees in VISMA via the VID Academy. You can find more information under “New employee in VID”.

Operating account

All scholarship holders have their own operating account and use the Visma computer program for reimbursement of expenses. Note that your own operating account is associated with a specific project number that you must state when making refunds.

Travel in Gtravel

All VID employees must book their trips via the portal of the travel agency Gtravel: https://www.gtravel.no/. You must follow the college's regulations for booking travel. You can find this in the Personnel handbook.

Employee portal

At the employee portal you will find, among other things, information about events at VID and news updates.
