Mobility allowance

The mobility allowance compensates for commuting and removal & relocation costs when you start a job that is located far away from your current place of residence. You can claim mobility allowance before the commencement of actual employment if you start training related to an employment relationship that will last at least two months.

This allowance will be paid if

• you receive a daily allowance just before starting the job or training and
• your journey to work is equivalent to a round-trip of more than three hours a day for full-time work or more than two hours a day for part-time work and
• the length of your employment relationship must be at least two months.

Mobility allowance can also be paid if the daily allowance is not payable before the start of work due to a waiting period, an obligation to work or a personal liability period.

In full-time employment, the mobility allowance is worth approximately EUR 800 per month. In part-time work, the mobility allowance is paid for working days completed at a rate of EUR 37.21 per day.

Duration of mobility allowance payment:

• If your job lasts for at least 2 months, the allowance will be paid for 1 month
• If your job lasts for at least 3 months, the allowance will be paid for 1.5 months
• If your job lasts for at least 4 months, the allowance will be paid for 2 months
