Cost/funding for participants
As an EU Agency, EUSPA offers a competitive salary. The primary component is the basic salary. The amount varies depending on the staff category, grade, and step. The advertised grade is influenced by the level of functions of the job, the relevant professional experience, qualifications and skills.
Several allowances may be added to the salary depending on personal circumstances:
- Family benefits (household, dependent child, education allowances, etc.).
- Entry into service benefits and mobility allowances (expatriation, foreign residence, daily subsistence, travel, removal reimbursement, etc.).
- Other benefits (annual travel, ...).
- Standby duty, shift or managerial allowance
- End of service (resettlement, etc.)
A deduction is also made from the salary at source – social security contributions (pension, health insurance, accident cover, unemployment insurance) and taxes.
EUSPA salaries are exempt from national income tax in EU Member States.
The pay is weighted by applying a correction coefficient based on the cost of living in the country of employment.
