Maternity Protection
The Maternity Protection Act applies to all nursing and pregnant women who are in employment. Since 1 January 2018, women who are trainees, volunteers, school pupils and university students, are also included.
Family Support
Family-friendliness means ensuring the compatibility of studies/work and care work such as childcare and nursing. The aim is to create a family-friendly university. UdK Berlin is working towards this with various measures and commitments, including
- a flexible working time regulation and a service agreement on mobile working in administration and service, which enables employees to fulfil their official duties partially independently of their place of work.
- a right to additional semesters of leave and part-time study for students with child(ren)
- the KidsMobil emergency childcare service, which can be used on request in the event of unforeseen changes in working hours or unforeseen official matters.
