Administrative and technical staff

The Administrative Management and Careers Division

The GAC HR department closely monitors various HR campaigns in order to provide the UFR management with indicators and information to aid decision-making. Supporting staff—BIATS and teachers—in their efforts is a major activity of the department in terms of working time. Finally, through detailed monitoring of payroll expenses from its own resources and detailed monitoring of support and jobs, the GAC department assists the management in decision-making regarding the budget and job mapping.

In addition, we would like to issue a specific REMINDER of the procedures in place at the University of Montpellier and the Faculty of Science regarding:

WORKING HOURS & HOLIDAYS :

Holidays on LOGECA – Administrative closure periods –

It is up to each employee to submit their vacation requests now on the LOGECA application for the mandatory administrative closure periods (winter and summer), in accordance with the dates indicated in the application:

Christmas holidays – from the evening of Friday, December 19, 2025 , to Friday, January 2, 2026, inclusive.

Summer holidays – from Friday, July 24 in the evening to Wednesday, August 19, 2026 inclusive.

This process allows us to deduct the mandatory days from your vacation balance.
We thank you forplanning ahead and organizing yourself accordingly in order to comply with this obligation.

Presence when service is required

If you require access to facilities (e.g., practical work rooms, specific equipment, animal facilities, etc.) and your presence on site is essential during a period of administrative closure, please inform the GAC Department as soon as possible.

TÉLÉWORK & ATT :

As part of the implementation of the annual teleworking program and at the request of the Administrative Director of our Faculty, I would like to remind you of the organizational measures in place within our institution, as follows:

– see link to the UM Telework Charter

1. Relocation or postponement of teleworking:

Subject to operational requirements, the fixed teleworking day may be moved within the same week or, in exceptional circumstances, postponed for a maximum of two weeks for all employees.

However, it is not possible to reschedule teleworking due to the close proximity of a public holiday, an annual leave day, or a UM support day.

2. Mandatory time spent on site:

Each employee must be present on site for a minimum of two days per week, regardless of the number of days worked remotely.

If, for reasons such as returning from annual leave or sick leave, these two days cannot be guaranteed, the teleworking days are canceled for that week.

Please note that public holidays are considered "worked" days and are therefore taken into account in the employee's working arrangements, whether they are working remotely or on site.

3. Flexible telework days:

Employees benefiting from occasional teleworking are entitled to 20 floating days per academic year.

These floating days cannot be split into half-days and must be requested at least 8 days in advance from your line manager.

The latter reserves the right to refuse or cancel a request based on service requirements.

4. Working Time Arrangements (ATT) :

All agents benefiting from an ATT must record two weekly schedules on PLANUM:

  • A schedule with ATT;
  • A schedule without ATT.

In accordance with current regulations, if an employee is absent for more than 0.5 days (leave) in the same week, the ATT is automatically canceled.
In this case, the schedule without ATT is used for managing working time .

=> Important: if your ATT is combined with a half-day of teleworking, canceling the ATT automatically converts that half-day of teleworking into a full day of on-site work.

5. VPN and Teams :

VPN is mandatory for remote access – Intranet article available here,

The use of the Teams application is highly recommended.

Compliance with these provisions is essential to the smooth running of our organization. It is your responsibility to ensure that you update the LOGECA institutional application and enter your teleworking days.

Furthermore, in order to facilitate monitoring and validation by your line manager, it is advisable to enter data on a monthly basis and to modify it when necessary.

All documents are also available via the ENT, under the "Human Resources" section.

Competition support

For the past 15 years, the Faculty of Science has been developing its support for staff in their efforts to succeed in competitive examinations.

Since September 2024, this support has been formalized and organized by the GAC division and members of the component's management team.

Any contract employee who wishes to sit an exam can contact the GAC department ( fds.gestionrh@umontpellier.fr ) and submit this completed questionnaire to request an individual support interview.

This interview will enable the agent to organize their preparation schedule and ask any questions they may have about the various competitions.

Two preparation phases are then implemented: the revision phase and the oral exam preparation phase.

If the agent requests it, one or, if possible, two mock interviews will be organized with available members of management.

If the number of applications is too high, priority will be given to contract agents whose renewal rights are coming to an end , in accordance with the UM system for managing contract staff.

PLANUM and LOGECA applications

Two new tools (PLANUM and LOGECA) replace ADHOC and are accessible to permanent and contract BIATSS staff on the ENT, under the heading "my file."

  • The PLANUM (PLANning UM) application is used to submit weekly schedules.
  • The LOGECA (Leave and Absence Management Software) application is designed to track leave, authorized absences, and telework days.

Thecontacts for these applications are Ms. DIEMERT and Ms. PIRAUX. If you encounter any issues, please contact: logeca-assistance@umontpellier.fr and
planum-assistance@umontpellier.fr

Time Savings Account (TSA)

For permanent employees and employees on indefinite contracts,any vacation days that cannot be transferred to the CET must be takenbeforeDecember 31.

Otherwise, they will be lost: all leave accrued during the reference period—the academic year—and not takenby December 31 will be reset to zero in the ADHOC application inJanuary.

For contract staff on fixed-term contracts, as stipulated in their employment contract, annual leave must be taken before the end of the contract period and does not give rise to any compensatory allowance.

Exercise of the option right for days above the threshold of 15 days saved between January 1January January 2024 and January 31, 2025.

telework

1st Teleworking Campaign – between June and July:

The teleworking campaign running between June and July is mainly intended for the renewal of permanent and contract staff already benefiting from teleworking, and/or staff who joined during the year after February 1, with effect from September 1 until August 31.

2nd Teleworking Campaign – between November and December:

The second teleworking campaign, running from November to December, is intended for permanent and contract employees who joined the company at the beginning of the year, with effect from February 1 to August 31.

Requests for teleworking are made online using the DématUM application, accessible from the UM digital workspace under the "Tools" section.

Compensation :

The decree of August 26, 2021, relating to the payment of the flat-rate telework allowance, sets out the terms and conditions for the payment of this allowance to permanent and contract employees of the civil service. In accordance with the regulations, this allowance will be paid quarterly in arrears to teleworkers authorized by the institution (permanent and contract BIATSS staff). Compensation for teleworked days will be paid quarterly. The amount of compensation is capped at €282.24 for the 2024 calendar year. The calculation of the number of days teleworked per employee will be automated using the LOGECA application, which will allow employees to be compensated without having to make an express request. Some clarifications following the questions you have sent us:

  • Both fixed AND flexible teleworking days must be entered into the LOGECA tool.
  • The daily allowance for teleworking is €2.88 per day teleworked, and €1.44 per half-day of fixed teleworking (reminder: floating days cannot be split into half-days).
  • This allowance is reserved for permanent and contract BIATSS staff under public law who have authorization from the University for annual teleworking, or teleworking for health reasons or on the grounds of disability (remote working is not compensated).
  • Reminder of the UM teleworking charter, Article 7.1: "Regardless of the work arrangement chosen from among the three teleworking options, the minimum weekly presence at the place of assignment may not be less than two days per week."

Exceptional teleworking –

Since May 24, 2023, requests to work remotely for health reasons, pregnancy, or to care for a family member must be made using the DEMATUM application —under the "exceptional remote work" tab.

Teleworking for people with disabilities –

For permanent and contract employees who are affected by teleworking due to disability, you must inform us of your situation so that we can send you an email detailing the procedure to follow.

Requests for remote working due to disability are not linked to a specific campaign. These requests can be made on an ongoing basis throughout the year. They will be approved by a specific committee. This committee meets monthly.

Combination of BIATS activities

As a matter of principle, civil servants and public-law contract employees must devote their entire professional activity to their employment in the civil service. In exceptional cases and under certain conditions, they may engage in secondary employment.

This activity must be compatible with the duties assigned to the employee and must not affect their performance. It must not interfere with the normal functioning, independence, or neutrality of the service.

It must take place outside the employee's working hours.

Depending on the type of secondary activity, you must do the following before starting the activity:

  • Declaration: If your activity is related to teaching, training, or research and takes place within a public institution, a dedicated application is now available to complete your procedure directly on the ENT space – HERE
  • Authorization: For other types of activities, submit an authorization request form at least one month before the start of the activity. Obtain approval from your supervisors and submit it by email to your department secretary for initial review and forwarding to the GAC department.

The procedure is completely paperless. You will find the application for declaring multiple activities on the ENT / My File.

Reminder: the declaration of multiple activities must be submitted at least 15 days before the start of the planned activity , accompanied by supporting documents (invitation, employment contract, letter of assignment, etc.) to be downloaded in the application at the end of the declaration.

The HR department's management service checks the request. The agent receives an automatic email confirmation of receipt.

The agent receives an email confirming the request.

Authorization:

An authorization request form completed and signed by the agent must be submitted at least one month before the start of the planned activity , accompanied by supporting documents (documents relating to the secondary activity: employment contract, letter of engagement, etc.).
