Guidelines for Filling Out Contract and Agreement

Guidelines for Filling Out DPP (Contract for Work) and DPČ (Agreement to Perform Work) Timesheets

These guidelines apply to agreements under which several independent payments are made. Electronic timesheets for Contracts for Work or Agreements to Perform Work are to be filled out using INET. Logging onto INET is the same as logging on to IS. If you don’t know your login password, or if other login issues arise, please contact Centre for Information and Communication Technologies (CIKT).

Filling out the timesheet (https://inet.muni.cz/…ka/timesheet)

Detailed instructions are given at the top of the section on Time sheet submission. The instructions may be downloaded HERE.

Timesheets are filled out monthly on the Vstupní Parametry (Basic Information) tab located under Vyplňování (Data Entry). Once filled out, timesheets must be saved.
For teaching agreements, the subject taught must be filled in (i.e., subject name), along with individual funding sources (i.e., orders) that are matched to it. Should several subjects and multiple funding sources (i.e., orders) be involved, a separate timesheet must be prepared for each subject based upon the agreement concluded.
There are two types of timesheets – detailed and comprehensive (total)
Detailed timesheets are filled in daily. In the Hodiny (Hours) box, the number of hours worked is entered and in the Popis Činnosti (Activity Description) box, the description of work done on individual days.
If the same activity must be filled in repeatedly, click on the Vyplnit Opakující se Činnosti (Fill in repetitive activities) button (period, days, component, hours, activity description). Timesheets must be saved.
Comprehensive (total) timesheet – only the box for the first day in the month need be filled out indicating the total number of hours worked and a description of the activity.
On the Výkaz (Timesheet) tab, select whether you would like a detailed timesheet containing the days worked and a summary of work done, or a comprehensive (total) timesheet that provides only a summary of the work done.
Using the Výkaz (Timesheet) tab, you may enter the person who signed off on the work (accept work) in accordance with the agreement.
Afterwards, check the Vytvořit Výkaz (Generate Timesheet) box.
Once the timesheet is created, submit it for approval by placing a check mark at the bottom of the frame.
The approver or HR may reject the timesheet and return it for modification. The employee who submits the timesheet will be notified as to its approval or rejection.
On the Authorised Persons tab, you may enter the name of a person who will fill out timesheets for you.
Project timesheetsmay be used as a basis for filling out agreement timesheets for projects.
Project timesheets must be saved and subsequently submitted for electronic approval (‘Send’ box is located above the Timesheet).

Menu path: Personal→Personal Application Directory →Project time sheets →Time sheets →Time sheets

Guidelines for Persons Approving and Accepting Work

Agreement Timesheets are approved in INET.
The persons who assign an operation usually also approve it.
In most cases, the approvers also sign off on the work (accept work).
Approvers may add persons who are to sign off on the work (accept work) in keeping with the agreement unless they have already been added by the employee.

Menu path: Personal →INET global personal overviews and settings →Electronic signature book
or
HR management→Attendance →Work Agreement timesheets →Time sheet approval

Approval: muni.cz/app/dochazka/timesheetSchval
Approvers may approve or reject the timesheets.
Approvers themselves may set up the frequency of email notifications of requests to approve agreement timesheets.
The default frequency setting for approvers is ‘immediately’. The settings may be changed based upon personal preferences at any time.

Similar rules also apply for the persons signing off on the work (accepting work).

Extracurricular Activities

What are Extracurricular Activities?

Extracurricular Activities are defined in Art. 20 Par. 2 of the Act (on Universities) as activities carried out for compensation by universities, and which follow from their educational, scientific, research, development, artistic or other creative activities or activities enhancing the efficient use of human resources and assets.

Extracurricular Activities may be considered commercial if they meet the definition (in accordance with Art. 2 Par. 1 of Act No. 513/1991 Coll., Commercial Code, as amended).

Commercial Activity is defined as activity continuously carried out in the entrepreneur’s own name and at his or her own responsibility for profit.

Within the meaning of the Act, Extracurricular Activities are broader than Commercial Activities.

MU divides Extracurricular Activities into:
Extracurricular Business Activities that share features of Commercial Activity conducted on the basis of a trade license within the meaning of Act No. 455/1991 Coll., on Trade License, as amended. (Administration related with the issuance, modification or cancelling trading licenses is provided for by MU Legal Office)
Extracurricular Non-Business Activities conducted for other complementary activities with no trade license, unless the trade concerned is within the meaning of Art. 3 of the Trade Act.

Who May Conduct Extracurricular Activities at the Faculty?

Extracurricular Activities may be conducted by a member of the faculty academic staff, department, an institute or specialized unit, or the Extracurricular Activities Centre.

Benefits of Extracurricular Activities

Extracurricular Activities are an attractive source of funding for both those who engage in them and for the faculty as a whole. For both, Extracurricular Activities are a source of additional personal income and income to cover operating costs and equipment costs for the unit. Such activities are a source of profit for the faculty.

How to Conduct Extracurricular Activities?

Extracurricular Activities are usually carried out on the basis of orders or contracts with external entities, such as providers of preparatory studies and surveys, or by offering services, e.g., courses and seminars. Depending upon the scope of the activity, it will be implemented by individual members of the academic staff, departments, or institutes, or the Extracurricular Activities Centreon the basis of an order.

Regardless of the scope of the order or who the implementer is, the Extracurricular Activities Centre will provide administrative support during all phases of implementation.

The first step consists in accepting the order, drafting the contract and preparing a project for the offer of services.

The second step consists of contacting the Extracurricular Activities Centre, which:

working with the order implementer, will prepare a calculation for the order, using the rules indicated in Bursar’s Guidelines No. 13/2005, for which a form is presented asAnnex No. 2.
presents the order/draft contract/project together with the calculation to the Faculty Dean who, after consulting with the implementer, makes the decision to either accept or reject the order/draft contract/project.
If it is accepted, the Extracurricular Activities Centre will ensure that the order is entered in the university’s economic system and will designate persons to oversee the finances. (Ordering Party: the implementer or an authorized person; Budget Administrator: an employee of the Extracurricular Activities Centre.)

The third step consists in the order implementation itself. Procedures defined in Dean’s Directive No. 6/2005 on Ensuring Financial Supervision must be maintained, as must contractual conditions if a contract is involved.

What Must Be Kept in Mind When Preparing the Calculation?

The calculation for any order for Extracurricular Activity must include the following:

Costs:

wages and bonuses (for Faculty employees). Overall wage costs are calculated as a multiple of 1.35 times “gross wages” in the agreements concluded (applies for contractors).
In the case of contractors’ Agreements for Work under CZK 10,000 per month, the amount paid shall not be increased by 1.35 times, unlike for Agreements to Perform Work.
material
services
travel expenses

Revenues: Adequate revenues must be planned to cover all costs, overhead and to provide at least a minimum level of profit.

The overhead cost consists of a levy paid from the revenue derived from the order of 17.3% for 2013. This covers the Faculty’s costs for implementing Extracurricular Activities (overhead is calculated using MU Directive No. 2/2013).

The minimum requisite profit for all orders is 5% of revenue.

The overhead and the minimum profit are deducted from revenues at least once per quarter. Thus the final balance may not sink below zero.

Acquainting Employees with the Emergency Plan, Fire Safety and Occupational Health and Safety

What to do when the fire alarm goes off?

Teachers interrupt the class and tell students that it is necessary to leave the building. Everyone must evacuate the building by way of the safest and closest exit and/or stairway. All stairways are escape routes, and the exits from the building open automatically in case of fire.
Heads of departments (or their deputies) direct the evacuation process of their employees.
Do not use lifts. They will automatically go to the 1st floor and stay here.
If a person with a disability is present in a classroom or at a workplace, it is necessary to inform the Fire Report Office (the reception) about their location (classroom, office, floor) so that the firefighters can evacuate them preferentially.
Evacuation must be done in a manner that ensures nobody remains in the building.
Everyone must comply with the instructions given by the fire brigade (building
management staff) and the firefighters.
Evacuated Faculty staff, students and other people who were present in the building gather on the grassy area near the faculty parking place in a safe distance in a way that does not prevent the firefighters from entering the building and waits for further instructions from fire brigade or the firefighters.
In the event of an injury, an employee of the Information Service (the reception) will call medical assistance. Prior to the arrival of medical assistance, first aid will be provided by trained employees.

By law, employees must be familiarized with the emergency plan (including the principles of first aid and crucial telephone numbers) and regulations on fire protection and occupational health and safety. Below are links to files specifying the Emergency Plan, Fire Protection and Occupational Health and Safety at the MU Faculty of Economics and Administration.
