Allowances and expense claims
If you have incurred costs for your work, you may be entitled to reimbursement. For example material costs, but also travel costs for commuting and business trips. We’ve listed all the possibilities below.
Expense claims
Have you incurred material costs for your work? In certain cases, you may be entitled to reimbursement.
- Log on to Remote Workplace.
- Choose SAP Self Service.
- Submit your claim as soon as possible but no more than three months after the end of the calendar year.
- Ensure that you have an electronic copy of your proof or purchase, for instance an original receipt, before you submit your claim.
- Your activity holder and budget holder must approve your claim.
You will receive a reimbursement for the commuting costs. You can also take advantage of a fiscal benefit in addition to the commuting allowance. The travel reimbursement consists of:
- Commuting allowance
The University will provide an allowance for those days when you travel to your University workplace. You will receive a fixed allowance for this. This allowance is based on the travel days you fill out in the timetable in the Service Portal. You only need to fill in your travel days once, after consultation with your manager. Only in the event of structural changes (e.g. if you are going to work fewer days) you need to adjust your travel days.
- Offsetting your commuting expenses using your gross income
As of 1 February, everyone may apply for a (supplementary) kilometre allowance via the Terms of Employment Individual Choices Model. This kilometre allowance will also be based on the travel days you enter in the timetable in the Service Portal.
Do you cycle to work or to and from a bus or train station or carpool location? Then you can offset the costs of purchasing a bicycle, insurance and maintenance against your gross salary, end-of-year bonus or holiday allowance.
If you travel in the Netherlands or abroad on University business, you are entitled to a travel and subsistence allowance.
If you work for the University but are not an employee, you can still submit a claim for certain expenses. Do this by filling in an electronic claim form. Attach proof of purchase for everything that you wish to have reimbursed. Remember to scan your receipts beforehand. The activity holder and budget holder of the department for which you work must approve your claim.
