Employment Conditions

Looking for quality, one must provide it first

NWO offers competitive pay and benefits including a full ‘13th-month’ year-end bonus and an excellent pension scheme.

Our employment conditions package is furthermore generous and varied, and characterised by a “mature” working relationship and a “customised” approach.

Examples of our customised approach:

• excellent facilities for balancing work and life
• customised conditions of employment (AVOM) - i.e. the composition of individual terms of employment package (Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres 2008-2010, see Appendix 6, AVOM Choice form 2010 and AVOM Explanation)
• options for (additional) career development (Collective Labour Agreement, see Chapter 6, Training, employability and career development)

The primary conditions for this package are set out in the Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres 2008-2010 (see lighting section).

For the offices of the NWO, ASTRON, SRON, and NSCR further details of certain subjects are to be found in The NWO Implementation Schemes.
