Business Trip Management

We support employees of RWTH Aachen in planning their business trips. In addition, we calculate the reimbursement of costs for business trips. As part of the university‘s internationalization the number of business trips abroad in recent years has increased sharply.

Online Bookings

We provide employees with the relevant corporate client portal of RWTH Aachen for online bookings. With regards to the steadily growing number of business trips and thus the growing budget for travel costs we also, together with the Division of Central Purchasing, negotiate special conditions for travel services such as rental cars, hotels or flights with travel agencies. All institutions of higher learning can use these facilities via the Travel Management in our intranet.

 

Our Responsibilities

  1. Trip Expenses and Excursions
  2. Moving Costs and Separation Allowances
  3. Salary Advances
  4. Travel Costs for Apprentices

Excursions for Students

Our employees also look after the calculation of the numerous excursions which students go on as part of their studies at our university with their professors or working groups. Here the primary role is to provide comprehensive advice either in person or over the phone to the excursion coordinators.

 

Moving Expenses & Separation Allowances

We advise newly appointed professors to RWTH Aachen with regard to any moving costs and separation allowances.

 

University Benefits Office

As the university benefit office for RWTH Aachen we are responsible for processing benefits for all those who qualify at RWTH Aachen, Aachen University of Applied Sciences, Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, and Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences.

Law on Benefits

A brief overview on the type and scope of benefit law in North Rhine-Westphalia is available for you in the RWTH Aachen Benefit Handbook. We would like to explicitly draw your attention to the fact that the information merely provides an overview of the type and scope of the existing benefit law. No legal entitlements whatsoever may be derived from this publication.

The sum of income according to Section 2 (2) and 5a of the Income Tax Act may not exceed 20,000 euros in the year before the expenses arise. The amount is dynamically adjusted on a regular basis. (Section 2 (1) BVO NRW)

Your Questions, Our Answers

Benefits are the employer’s contribution to expenses incurred at birth, during sickness, for nursing care and upon death as based on the duty of care in accordance with Paragraph 75 of the State Civil Service Law for North Rhine-Westphalia.
