ERIM PhD Reference Guide

The EUR has negotiated an extensive health insurance package for its employees.
These negotiations have resulted in a policy with attractive premiums, a wide range
of options and attractive supplementary terms with the health insurance company
Zilveren Kruis Achmea.
Here is a brief list of the benefits of participating in the EUR’s group scheme:
A 10% discount on Zilveren Kruis Achmea’s basic premium
A 15% discount on a wide selection of supplementary policies
Children are also insured free of charge on the supplementary insurance
policies taken out by their parents
No medical examination is required for acceptance for the basic insurance or
the supplementary insurance (with the exception of class insurance policies
and the 2 and 3‐star dental insurance, unless you can demonstrate that you
already have a similar policy.)
Freedom to choose your health care providers
A guarantee of care for around 400 medical treatments at selected care
institutions: you will be able to make an appointment with a specialist within
five days and can then be treated within the next ten days (for other
treatments, you can use Zilveren Kruis Achmea’s mediation service)
The HR department will provide you with more information.
IPAP (Disability Pension Top‐Up Plan)
The Loyalis insurance company has an insurance scheme (IPAP) covering the
consequences of total or partial incapacity for work. IPAP guarantees that your
income stays at 70% in the case of partial or full disablement. Without this insurance
you could experience a sharp drop in income due to disablement. The HR
department can provide you with more information.
Car Insurance
There is also a collective agreement for car insurance with Marsh. The HR
department can provide you with more information.
Moving Costs
If your address before accepting your job at RSM or ESE was more than
75 kilometres from Rotterdam, you could be entitled to receive a contribution
towards the moving costs. The costs of transport of your furniture can be reimbursed
and a fixed amount up to a maximum of € 7,750 can be paid as a compensation for
settling‐in expenses.
Ask your HR department for the exact conditions before you make any
arrangements.
