Employee Organizations and Co-determination

Co-determination

Co-determination for employees is exercised through mutual exchange of information, discussions, and negotiations between the employee organizations and the employer.

Information, discussion and negotiations (IDF)

The right to co-determination for the entire organization at UiT is exercised in IDF meetings through information, discussion, and negotiations between the employer and the employee organizations' representatives according to the Main Agreement (HA) §§ 11 - 13. IDF meetings are held monthly and prior to the University board meetings and as needed. There is a distinction between information cases, discussion cases, and negotiation cases. Minutes from the meetings are available in the meeting portal, link to come.

For the employer, the rector/organizational and financial director or their deputies attend, and for the employees, representatives from the Academics, Researcher Association, LO Stat, and YS Stat attend.

Information, discussion, and negotiation meetings ensure co-determination according to HA §§ 11 and 12 at all units. More information about IDF can be found on dedicated web pages. (Page not available in English).

Information and consultation meetings

Co-determination at the units is exercised in information and consultation meetings (ID meetings) through information exchange and discussions between the employer and the employee organizations' representatives. At the operational units, ID meetings with the representatives of the employee organizations should be held at least once per semester. The parties agree that meetings will be held prior to board meetings. For more information, see the Adaptation Agreement. (Not available in English).
