If you choose to go to Mongolia for a week, then you are doing this at your risk, and you are responsible for arranging your health and travel insurance, vaccinations, visas, etc. If you get bitten by a snake, then that's on you. Depending on the situation, we might ask you to sign a waiver before we unlock the budget.
The budget is issued at the beginning of the year.
If you don't spend it by the end of the year, it expires. No rolling over into the next year.
This is currently an experiment, and we're committing to it for the entire 2023. We might change, or even remove this completely in 2024.
Budget use is recorded and the leads will have access to this information.
The cost-to-company is the relevant number for tracking your budget consumption. This might be either lower or higher that the sticker price, depending on the legal classification of the expense.
If you leave the company in the middle of the year, the budget is prorated, and you may need to pay some back if you overspent. E.g. if you leave on 31st June, and you already spent 600 EUR of your budget, then you will have to pay back 100 EUR.
If you join in the middle of the year, the budget is prorated. E.g. if you join on the 1st of March, then you get 833.33 EUR in your first year.
No budget overspending, so you can't spend more of your budget this year and have it subtracted from your budget next year.
You can’t use your personal budget if you are in the process of leaving the company.
To use the budget, tell your Team Lead what you want to spend it on, who will tell you what legal category it falls in and what the next steps are. Depending on what it is, we may use a reimbursement system vs the company paying for it directly.
Legal classification
What | Classification |
|---|---|
Services that have a dominant work character. | Direct company expense |
Services that are more on the private character. | Reimbursement |
Mobility. Take note: in Austria they need to be valid at the place of residence (e.g. you live in Vienna so it needs to be at least valid within Vienna. If you want to buy the Klimaticket via your personal budget it needs to include Vienna if you live in Vienna.) | Direct company expense |
