Your employment contract
The employment contract specifies your civil status as well as your address and the full details of your employer, the University. It also indicates whether it is a permanent or a fixed-term employment contract: in the civil service, the standard status of a civil servant (tenured) is accessible through a competitive exam.

The maximum duration of the fixed-term contract is 3 years, renewable once for a total of 6 years. Thereafter, the contractual agent can move to a permanent contract.

Your working conditions
In the Civil Service, working conditions consist of a set of rights and obligations. At the University, these obligations are aimed at fulfilling the public university service: welcoming users, supporting training and research missions, managing the various functions. These are defined in the statutes of the University, the institutional contract and in the general and individual instructions. Everyone is individually responsible for the implementation and execution of the tasks assigned to them. This responsibility implies the obligation to devote the entirety of one's professional activity to these tasks, without exercising a lucrative private activity in parallel. Any deviation from this rule is subject to a specific procedure and must be approved by the President, except for certain ancillary activities which may be carried out without prior authorisation. It is also accompanied by the obligation to respect professional secrecy and the duty of confidentiality, while ensuring that legitimate requests for information from the public are satisfied as far as possible. The staff are subject to the legal protection of the University against attacks or damage that they may suffer in the performance of their duties, and benefit from the disciplinary guarantees arising from the statutes of each body and the texts in force. The working conditions are applicable to all staff of the University of Tours, regardless of their status and mode of recruitment. It also applies in joint research units for staff employed by the university. However, some provisions are specific to the statutes of the various researchers. All newcomers, whether or not they are tenured, must be informed of the working conditions and how to access them.
