Information for employees

The following list provides a number of support services for all PLUS employees.

• Working Group on Equal Opportunities

  The Working Group on Equal Opportunities (Arbeitskreis für Gleichbehandlungsfragen – AKG) supports the PLUS in all measures taken to promote equal opportunities and prevent discrimination.

  The AKG is represented in all appointment and habilitation committees as well as faculty and department councils and attends all job interviews with prospective employees.

  The AKG offers advice and guidance for all members of the PLUS who experience or witness discrimination.

  If you suspect that you are being discriminated against because of your gender, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation, the AKG can offer help and advice.

  You can email us, call us, or come to a consultation during office opening hours. During our first meeting (online, over the phone or in person), we will listen to your explanation of the situation, make a note of all the facts and outline further options. Together we will work out strategies on how to proceed and discuss possible further steps.

  Any steps taken will be discussed with you first. No measures will be taken without your consent.

  All consultations are strictly confidential and can be held anonymously.

• Arbitration Board

  One of the main tasks of the Arbitration Board is to resolve disputes between members of the PLUS.

  All members of the university are obliged by law (§ 43 UG) to inform the Arbitration Board members in all matters concerning the dispute at hand and to participate in meetings called by the board. The board members are not bound by any directives or orders in their arbitration work.

  In addition, the Arbitration Board deals with complaints from the Working Group on Equal Opportunities concerning discrimination of any form through a decision made by a university institution.

  Disputes which are part of legal proceedings or assessments of performance are not under the responsibility of the Arbitration Board. It can therefore not be called on to consult on study matters, the postdoctoral qualification process or public services law.

  You can contact the Arbitration Board by sending an e-mail to: SchiedEKhskoZ.BmmissWXJion@plhrmus.ac3VY.atmUz

  The Head of the Arbitration Board will contact you to set up a meeting and discuss further steps.
