Salary, collective labour agreement and tailor-made conditions of employment
When it comes to employment conditions, you are at the right place at Wageningen University & Research. As an employee, you can make individual choices that best suit your specific needs at certain stages of your life or career..
Collective Labour Agreement
Due to the structure of the organisation, Wageningen University & Research has two different Collective Labour Agreements, which differ in parts but are essentially equivalent.
We are currently updating the Collective Labour Agreement (CLA). The latest employment conditions will be published here as soon as the updated agreement has been finalised.
Remuneration
A challenging job goes hand-in-hand with excellent remuneration. We offer, besides a market-based salary, good study- and sabbatical arrangements that include parental leave and a pension plan through ABP Pension Fund.
Tailor-made condition of employment
WUR uses a so-called cafeteria model, that we call Optare, which makes it possible for you to vary your conditions of employment. This could allow you, for example, to exchange money or time for taking a study leave or to participate in the bicycle plan. You can save up for a sabbatical leave, extra parental leave or extra salary. You decide yourself what suits your needs best at a given point in time.
Flexible working hours
At WUR, we work on the quality of life. We think that it is thus essential to find a healthy balance between work and private life. Depending on the function and place of work, this is made possible through flexible working hours, working part time, working from home or the possibility to take sabbatical leave.
Insurance
At WUR, there are various options for insurance such as collective health insurance, accident insurance or collective travel insurance, but also insurances where the partner receives a monthly benefit payment following the insured person's death.
Personal development
At WUR, we believe it is important that our employees continuously develop, that is why we invest in our employees.
