Reminder: Monday April 14, new HR "open door" session to support foreign staff who have recently joined the Institut Pasteur

On Monday April 14, a new HR open door session will be held to support foreign staff members in their onboarding process at the Institut Pasteur. Save the date!

The first two HR open door sessions held in February and March were an opportunity for early career scientists from abroad to ask questions and receive tailored support as part of their onboarding process at the Institut Pasteur.

Following on from these sessions, the administrative management teams in the HR Department will be holding a further session on Monday April 14 from 1.30 to 4pm at The 25.

The following topics will be covered:
•        Residence permit
•        Social security and health insurance
•        Different types of leave (additional leave, maternity and paternity leave, etc.)

HR open door sessions are mainly aimed at Institut Pasteur employees*
(*OREX staff (from external research organizations) are encouraged to contact their employer if they have any administrative questions)
