The conditions applying to the installation indemnity are defined in article R V 1.32 of the Staff Rules and Regulations and in Administrative Circular No. 30.
In accordance with these provisions, the installation indemnity is paid to staff members, fellows and graduates fulfilling the following conditions:
-
they must reside over 70 km from CERN (as the crow flies) at the time of their Selection Board, and
-
they must establish their new place of residence within a radius of 50 km from CERN within two years of taking up their appointment.
N.B. Graduates whose appointment as an associate for the purpose of training (MPAt) ended in the twelve months prior to taking up their appointment as a graduate, and who received travel expenses upon arrival in the local area are also eligible for the installation indemnity.
Staff members must hold a contract with a duration of at least 12 months. In exceptional circumstances, the Director-General may waive this latter condition.
The service in charge of the payment of the installation indemnity will establish whether the person concerned is entitled to the installation indemnity when the contract is drawn up. Please contact the Human Resources Adviser (HRA) responsible for your Department for all questions relating to entitlement to this indemnity.
The amount of the installation indemnity is calculated according to the method set out in Annex R A 9 of the Staff Rules and Regulations.
In case of part-time work, the amount of the installation indemnity is calculated in proportion to the working time.
The family and contractual situation taken into account is that applying when members of personnel take up their appointment.
On taking up appointment, members of the personnel entitled to the installation indemnity receive, via EDH, an Installation indemnity payment request that they need to check and sign (personal data taken into account in the calculation of the installation indemnity, basic remuneration, place of residence, family situation, etc.). In the event that they did not receive that EDH document during the first two weeks of their contract or for any questions relating to the installation indemnity, they are invited to contact the Installation Indemnity service.
