Salary, payment and statement at Maastricht University

During the initial terms of employment meeting a salary is agreed upon with the employee that will be based on the employee’s job position, knowledge and experience. The employee will be categorised in one of the salary scales of the Collective Labour Agreement of the Dutch Universities (CAO-NU).

You can download the salary scales table here. In addition to the basic salary indicated in the salary table, compensations may apply. Salaries are paid on fixed dates.

At the start of each calendar year, employees receive an annual statement of the gross annual salary, including the gross holiday bonus and any other allowances of the preceding year. This statement can be used for the income tax return.

The annual statement can also be found in ESS. Employees who do not have access to ESS will receive the pay slip and annual statement at their home addresses.
