What is the salary of an air traffic controller at EUROCONTROL?
Salary is commensurate with the demands of a challenging and responsible job. A salary is paid even whilst under training. Remuneration includes a basic salary and further add-on elements payable according to personal circumstances e.g. allowances for head of household, expatriate, dependent child, school. “Head of household” allowance is paid to employees who are married or have at least one dependent child. “Expatriation” allowance (16%) is normally payable to nationals of a country other than the one in which they are employed. For those with children a “child allowance” and if they are attending school a “school allowance” is payable. A compulsory deduction of 1.479% of salary is made to cover membership of EUROCONTROL’s own medical insurance provisions. EUROCONTROL operates its own pension scheme and a compulsory deduction of 10% covers this. Remuneration and allowances are not liable to any scheme of national taxation but are subject to the Organisation’s own internal tax system.
