Local travel agreement for employees at Uppsala University
This is an unofficial translation of the agreement from Swedish.
1 § One-day service
The right to a salary supplement for one-day service ceases from 2005-04-01.
2 § Multi-day service, domestic
Salary supplement is paid up to, including, the 90th day of absence with an amount for a full day of SEK 185/day, domestic. 'Full day' also refers to the day of departure if the journey has begun before 12.00 o'clock and return day if the departure ends after 19.00 o'clock. If the journey started later than 12.00 o'clock or finished before 19.00 o'clock, a salary supplement of SEK 90 is paid.
From the ninety-first day of absence, the salary supplement for domestic full-day service is reduced by 30 % to SEK 129.50 - in the same way as for the allowance part.
In cases where the employer pays the cost of meals, the salary supplement is reduced by
15 % if the employer pays for breakfast
35 % if the employer pays for lunch
35 % if the employer pays for dinner
However, deductions from the salary supplement shall not be made for free food on public transport.
3 § Accomodation
For overnight stays during a service in another location, a salary supplement of SEK 450/night is paid in cases where the University does not dispute the actual accommodation cost.
4 § Car allowance
In the event of great benefit to the business, the head of department can allow a taxable salary supplement of SEK 13/10km in addition to the statutory tax-free car allowance. Decisions on the so-called car consent are made by the head of department, who can also provide car consent for individual trips through approval in connection with signing a payment order. In connection with car consent, a cost comparison must be made with the state call-off agreements for car rental, which are now relatively advantageous.
5 §
In other respects, the rules and amounts for car allowance, allowances and meal benefits that are stipulated in the Income Tax Act (Swedish: Inkomstskattelag) and the International Travel Ordinance (Swedish: Utlandsreseförordning) apply.
6 § Validity
This local agreement is valid from 2005-04-01 until further notice and can be terminated by either party with one month's period of notice.
Record notes
It is recalled that
- a travel invoice must be submitted within two months of the conclusion of the service,
- travel advance payments must be declared within three months,
- travel advance payments less than SEK 1000 are not paid,
- travel advances over SEK 100 000 are paid in installments unless special reasons justify otherwise,
- set-off against salary may always be made after three full calendar months in the case of unreported advances,
- claims relating to travel allowance and allowances become statute-barred after one year.
If the head of department and the clerk in advance have agreed on lower allowance amounts, it is possible to pay lower salary supplements than those mentioned above. In other respects, benefits according to the agreement must always be paid.
