Dear Ms. Barkalaia,

 

I hope you had a pleasant summer break.

 

I would like to take the opportunity to update you on the process of the placement of the Integrated Expert. Although we had envisaged that Ms. Burkert starts working in MoH from this September onwards, this is unfortunately not possible due to internal procedures. Still, Ms. Burkert applied for her leave of absence with her present employer, which we expect to be issued from the 1^st of December onwards. Ms. Burkert will attend a couple of preparatory courses here in Germany until the mid of January.

 

Our timetable foresees that she is ready to start at MoH by the 20^th of January.

 

Is this plan suitable for you?

 

An issue which Ms. Burkert requested me to raise with you is the following: The number of days of paid leave is 24 according to national labor law in Georgia. Ms. Burkert is very much interested, of course, not to have less days of paid leave than with her present employer, which guarantees 30 days of paid leave according to German labor law. I hope for your understanding and would appreciate if you could send me your consent on this.

 

One more question from my side is whether the position of head of department has been filled in the meantime?

 

I am looking forward to hearing from you and remain sincerely yours,

 

Petra Shakya
