High benefits
A robust social security scheme, the highest take-home salary in the European Union, a minimum of 26 working days of leave per year, and one of the top ranked pension systems in the world – these are but some of the benefits one gains from working in Luxembourg.
Social System
The system also ensures a guaranteed minimum wage, as well as insurance on a number of factors – more information can be found here.
All residents of the country fall within the system, which includes benefits related to illness, workplace accidents and occupational diseases.
Healthcare Coverage
Any individual working within Luxembourg has to be a member of one of the public health insurance funds (with the CNS, the National Health Fund, being the Private Sector fund). The funds cover a number of risks, including maternity illnesses, work-related accidents or illnesses, old-age illnesses, disability, and long-term care insurance. On top of this, the fund covers a variety of healthcare expenses, such as GPs, specialists, dentists, and more. More information can be found here.
Sickness Coverage
After a certain period of being on sick leave, the payment of your salary will be taken over by the CNS. The amount of money you will receive while recovering will be exactly the same as what you earn when in good health and at the office.
Balancing work and family life has never been as easy as now with my current employer since they are offering flexible working time and working from home.
