If you relocate so that you can be closer to your job at uu77, you may be eligible for a relocation allowance if:
- you relocate because of instructions of uu77, as a result of which you have fulfilled the obligation to relocate; or
- you have an employment contract for an indefinite period of time; or
- you have a temporary employment contract on the basis of Article 2.3 of the collective labour agreement for 1 year or longer with the prospect of permanent employment; or
- you have a (one-off long-term) temporary employment contract on the grounds of article 2.2a of the collective agreement (CAO); or
- you have a temporary employment contract as a PhD student; or
- you are a lecturer or researcher with an employment contract of two years or more on the grounds of Article 2.3 of the CAO.
A prerequisite is that you live more than 25 km from the campus and move within two years of starting employment, which reduces the distance between your new home and the campus by at least 60%. For other conditions, see the Travel and Moving Expenses Regulations itself.
You will be reimbursed for transport costs (for moving your household effects) and other costs, such as furnishing your new home. You should request quotes from at least two moving companies of your choice when moving house. Apply for your removal allowance using the Reimbursement of moving expenses form.
Amount of allowance
You are entitled to reimbursement of transport costs up to the lower of the two quotes issued.
The amount of the allowance for the other costs will depend on your yearly income and the type of household effects that you will be relocating. A private household means: a house with at least two rooms with its own furniture, upholstery and kitchenware.
- If you move your own household effects, you will receive a minimum relocation allowance of €3,000.00 and a maximum relocation allowance of €5,445.00.
- If you are not moving your own household effects, you will receive a minimum relocation allowance of €1,000.00 and a maximum relocation allowance of €1,361.25.
