Staff Council for Non-Academic Staff

The numerous employees who are not classified as researchers are represented by their own staff council, which advocates for their interests with the institution - the Non-Scientific Staff Council (NPR). In addition to individual concerns, we must also consider the interests of all employees as a whole. In a collaborative and trusting relationship with the institution and other bodies, we are responsible for maintaining a peaceful working environment.

Members of the NPR are elected for terms of four years and carry out their duties on a voluntary basis. These responsibilities, rights, and obligations are defined by the Personnel Representation Act for the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (cf. §§ 58 ff.). For example, they are responsible for reviewing and approving various employment and service-related matters, including the negotiation of service agreements.

The NPR provides advice on matters of general interest to its employee groups and also assists individuals with their issues. Please exercise your right to reach out to us in a timely manner if you encounter any problems - we are here to help you. Of course, all members are bound by confidentiality and discretion
