Internet expenses allowance
Do you work from home and are you employed by Leiden University? If so, in addition to your home-working allowance, you are also entitled to an allowance for your internet expenses.
You will receive the full allowance if you register your home-working days in Shuttel. If you do not register your home-working days, you will not receive a home-working allowance for that month. You can register your home-working days in the Shuttel app or in My Shuttel (for desktop or laptop).
From 1 November 2024, we have a new mobility policy that encourages sustainable commuting. You can keep track of your trips and allowances in the Shuttel app. The new mobility policy also has consequences for the reimbursement of your business trips in the Netherlands, your home-working allowance, and the kilometre allowance via the Terms of Employment Individual Choices Model.
What is the amount of the allowance?
The allowance is €25 net per month, irrespective of your working hours and whether you work entirely or partly form home. If your register your home-working days in the same month, you will receive an internet allowance the following month. Register your home-working days no later than on the last day of the following month. If legislation is passed or a collective agreement established that has consequences for this scheme, the scheme will be adjusted accordingly.
When am I not eligible for the internet expenses allowance?
- You are not eligible if you did not register your home-working days in Shuttel. To receive the allowance, you must register your home-working day in Shuttel no later than on the last day of the following month.
- On-call staff (whether or not through JobMotion), student assistants, students on placement, freelancers, PhD scholarship students without employment contract, and students are not eligible for an internet allowance.
