Compensation for expenses

If you are receiving earnings-related daily allowance, you may also be entitled to an expense allowance to cover travel and other costs incurred in attending an employment support service. The reimbursement ranges from 9 € to 18 € per day.

Amount of compensation

We can pay you an expense allowance of 9 € per day. We can pay you 18 € per day if,

  • you attend a service outside the area where you work
  • you are taking part in a service outside your commuting area and you incur accommodation costs for taking part in the service.

If you take part in labour market training abroad, you are entitled to 50% of the daily allowance paid to civil servants for travel expenses incurred in the country concerned, to cover accommodation and other expenses during the training.

If you take part in a labour market training course organised by the Nordic Calotte Training Foundation, we can reimburse you 16.82 € per day. Accommodation is free of charge for jobseekers attending a training course organised by the North Calotte Training Foundation.

Dates of compensation of expenses

We will reimburse expenses for up to five days per calendar week. If you are taking part in labour market training abroad, we can reimburse you for up to seven days per calendar week.

For job-search coaching, career coaching and trials, we will only reimburse expenses for the days on which the service is provided and on which you participate.

Limitation and termination of compensation of expenses

We do not pay compensation of expenses during periods of leave for labour market training or for self-study under the Integration Act, but we may pay compensation of expenses during a period of leave for the time you are participating in work-related learning or training as part of your training.

We will stop paying the compensation of expenses from the day you stop the service. We will also stop paying the compensation of expenses if you have decided to stop the service.
