We think it is important that you know where you stand when you come to work for us. That is why we are transparent about our terms of employment.

Working week

At Amsterdam UMC you can work both fulltime and part-time. The number of hours in a full-time working week varies per professional group. Physician assistants work 46 hours per week and all other positions (except for medics) are based on our standard 36 hours per week.

Holidays

At Amsterdam UMC we work with an annual hours system. This means that, depending on the scope of your employment, you are required to work a certain number of hours per year. The number of holiday hours is based on this and is 9% of the number of hours to be worked. In addition to the standard holiday days, Amsterdam UMC has designated Good Friday as an extra holiday in addition to the holidays referred to in the CAO.

Pension

Your pension is administered by ABP, the largest pension insurer in the Netherlands. Amsterdam UMC contributes the largest part of this premium (up to 70%)! Have you already built up a pension elsewhere? If so, you may be able to transfer its value. Click here for more information.

Travel

Travel allowance

You will receive travel allowance on the days you are present in the hospital.
On these days, you can count on a general allowance for the costs of commuting if you use your own transport (up to scale 11). The untaxed allowance is € 0.05 per kilometer and is paid if the distance between home and work is 11 kilometers or more, with a maximum of 33 kilometers one way.

If you travel by public transport, the costs of your public transport pass will be reimbursed (up to scale 16). The amount of the reimbursement is 75% of the actual costs. Business trips with public transport are even fully reimbursed. Special rates apply for business trips using your own transport.

In addition to the partial reimbursement for commuting, Amsterdam UMC also makes use of the 'fiscal exchange'. Tax exchange means exchanging gross salary for net salary. The net result of fiscal exchange is the payroll tax that is not owed on the amount to be exchanged, thereby creating a tax benefit for the employee. The amount to be exchanged depends on the number of travel days, the commuting distance and participation in the gross bicycle scheme. Fiscal exchange takes place in May (exchange with vacation allowance), November (exchange with end-of-year bonus) and December (exchange with salary). Our HR Service Desk can tell you more about this.

Home working allowance

At Amsterdam UMC we work with a homeworking allowance. On the days you work from home you receive a net amount of €2,-- per day. You agree in advance with your manager how many days you will work at home and you enter this in our HR system. Each month you will receive a net amount in addition to your salary.

Extra

More time off

If the standard amount of free hours per year is not enough for you, you can save extra hours with the 'time-for-time' scheme. This allows you to save up to a maximum of 168 'additional hours' to be taken at a later date. You agree with your manager on how to build up and use these hours.
