Bonus Eligibility for H2020 Scholars

1 min read Apr 28, 2022

Hello,

I am an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) in the European Industrial Doctorate Program : LIVE-I. Recently, the government announced the Corona Bonuses ( 2 time payment that happened in Dec 2021 and one this year each of 500EUR) and now possibly an 'Engerpauschale' of 300EUR in September. I am aware that the ESRs are not entitled to receive additional bonuses as per the contract. But to me it seems a bit strange as the extra funds are granted by the State to tax payers irrespective of their employer. How do we deal with this situation?

Thanks!

Sneha

Hi Sneha, did you ever hear anything about this by chance?

Hi Logan,

I haven't got any response from the MSCA community. I am thinking of taking this forward to the Country representatives of my project from the MC-fellowship.
