Legal status of university employees to change as of 1 January 2020
On 1 January 2020, the Act on the Standardisation of the Legal Status of Civil Servants (WNRA) will come into effect, applying to all employees in the government sector. This means administrative civil service law will be replaced by private employment law at all universities, including UM. This change may have consequences for your social security. More information can be found in the WNRA FAQ on the intranet.
