In order to enter into employment with the University of Potsdam, a number of formalities need to be taken care of. We gladly assist you in this process. Nonetheless, we do recommend that you come to Germany at least a few days before your official employment starting date so that we can take care of all formalities in a timely and efficient manner.
Please obtain the forms and documents necessary for the hiring procedure either from your future institution or the Welcome Center. We recommend that you fill in and send us as many of these forms as possible before you come to Germany. This will allow for a stress-free start of your employment and stay. Please take note that your employment contract can only be issued after all forms and documents have been completed.

The starting dates for employment are, as a rule, either on the 1st or 15th day of the month, but it is possible to begin employment in between these dates. The determination and payment of wages is carried out by the Central Wage Office (Zentrale Bezügsstelle) in Cottbus. Wages are paid at the end of each month. At the beginning of employment during the month, the payment of your first month’s wage may take quite a while. In this case, please apply for a partial payment via your contact person.
