Associates at the European Southern Observatory (ESO).</p> <p>It is intended for information only to give potential applicants a general overview of the working conditions at ESO. The full details are given in the International Staff Rules and Regulations (SRR) and other official documents, which formally define the working relationship of Paid Associates with the Organisation. On receiving a job offer, applicants will be given copies of these documents.</p> <p>As ESO is an intergovernmental organisation, its conditions of employment for Paid Associates are independent of German, Chilean, and European Union labour law.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <h3>A comprehensive compensation package that supports work-life balance</h3> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>ESO offers a comprehensive and competitive package of salary, allowances, grants and an attractive social security scheme. In addition, ESO aims to support members of personnel in maintaining a good work-life balance between their professional and private life.</p> <p>For details of these general aspects of working at ESO, please see the sections “<a href="#general-conditions">General conditions</a>” and “<a href="#work-life-balance">Work-life balance</a>”.</p> <h3>Creating a family-friendly workplace</h3> <p>ESO is committed to being a family-friendly workplace, creating a work environment and policies which allow staff to balance their professional and private responsibilities through flexible working arrangements and financial support for families.</p> <p>For details of ESO’s measures to support families, please see the section “<a href="#family-friendly-support">Family-Friendly Support</a>”.</p> <h3><a name="general-conditions" class="anchor"></a>General conditions</h3> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Duty stations</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p> <p>ESO has establishments, known as duty stations, which are located in:</p> <p><strong>Germany:</strong> Garching bei München</p> <p><strong>Chile</strong>: La Silla, Paranal, Santiago, Sequitor, ALMA Operations Support Facility (OSF)</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Duration of appointment</span></strong></p> <p>The contract for a Paid Associate is for a fixed-term duration of usually one year and is subject to a successful pre-employment medical examination.</p> <p>Under certain circumstances there is the possibility of contract extension(s), subject to individual performance and organisational requirements.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Basic salaries</span></strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>ESO has a salary structure consisting of a series of grades from 2 to 14. Within each grade, there is a series of steps from 0 to 15 (in grades 2 to 4), 0 to 13 (in grades 5 to 12), 0 to 10 (in grade 13), or 0 to 7 (in grade 14).</p> <p>Initial grade and step, and therefore salary, is determined in relation to the position and a candidate's qualifications and experience, and is set at the time of the appointment. The grade and step may be adjusted upon contract extension.</p> <p>The basic salary refers to the salary before the deduction of contributions for the healthcare scheme, and before the payment of any additional allowances.</p> <p>The salaries of Paid Associates are reviewed annually by ESO’s governing bodies, and may be adjusted taking into account cost of living changes. The salaries of Paid Associates with duty station in Chile are further adjusted monthly, according to the cost of living differential between Santiago de Chile and Munich.</p> <p>Due to ESO’s status as an intergovernmental organisation, under most circumstances no income tax is payable on ESO salaries. Instead, an internal tax is withheld at source.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Working hours per week</span></strong></p> <p>The basic working schedule is 40 hours a week on average. The specific working schedule and hours of work may vary according to the duty station.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Health Insurance Scheme</span></strong></p> <p>The ESO health scheme provides private worldwide healthcare insurance for medical expenses of Paid Associates and their dependent family members. The monthly healthcare insurance contribution that the Paid Associate pays is independent of the number of dependent family members.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Unemployment Insurance</span></strong></p> <p>Paid Associates are entitled to unemployment insurance benefits if they are without employment immediately after their appointments terminate, subject to certain conditions.</p> <p>If the appropriate conditions are met, unemployment benefit will be paid for up to 6 or 12 months, depending on the staff member’s length of service. This is normally between 70% and 80% of the final basic salary.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Salary during sickness</span></strong></p> <p>A Paid Associate’s salary continues to be paid during absences due to sickness, with certain limits and conditions. If the appropriate conditions are met, including the submission of a medical certificate, the rules allow in the first instance for up to 12 months of sick leave on full pay within a period of 36 months. Additional rules apply after this.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pension Scheme</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p> <p>Members of the personnel with an appointment as a Paid Associate should have their own pension provision.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Annual Leave</span></strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>Annual leave entitlement for Paid Associates is 2 1/2 working days per month (30 days per year). The leave year runs from 1 April to 31 March of the following year.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Official Holidays</span></strong></p> <p>The following days are official holidays for Paid Associates with duty station in Garching: 1 January, 6 January, Good Friday, Easter Monday, 1 May, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, 15 August, 3 October, 1 November, 25 December and 26 December.</p> <p>The following days are official holidays for Paid Associates with duty station in Chile: 1 January, Good Friday, Good Saturday, 1 May, 21 May, 29 June, 16 July, 15 August, 18 September, 19 September, 12 October, 1 November, 8 December, 25 December and 26 December.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Home Leave</span></strong></p> <p>Once every two years in Garching and every year in Chile, an expatriated Paid Associate is entitled to a home leave return trip to his or her “home station” (typically to the Paid Associate’s home state or place of residence at the time of appointment). ESO pays the expenses of the journey for the Paid Associate and their family within certain limits.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Expatriation Allowance</span></strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>A monthly expatriation allowance is payable to Paid Associates under certain circumstances. The rate is calculated as a percentage of the Paid Associate’s basic salary, within certain limits.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mountain Allowance (Chile only)</span></strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>A mountain allowance is payable to Paid Associates with duty station La Silla, Paranal, Sequitor, or OSF.</p> <ul> <li>Paid Associates receiving household allowance (see “Family-Friendly Support” section below): 20% of the basic salary</li> <li>Paid Associates not receiving household allowance: 10% of the basic salary</li> </ul> <p>The amount of the mountain allowance listed above applies when the regular amount of working time is spent on the mountain. The amount paid is adjusted according to actual time spent on the mountain.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Joining expenses</span></strong></p> <p>Newly appointed Paid Associates residing more than 50 km from the duty station before their appointment are entitled to be paid travel expenses for themselves and their families, removal expenses, and an installation allowance.
