Departure Travel Payment

  1. BE Central Secretariat sends the Departure Formalities email to the Member of Personnel (MoP) indicating whether they are entitled to the Departure Travel Payment. If family members are also eligible, this will be communicated in the same email.
  2. The MoP should reply to this email, confirming whether they are leaving the local area and providing the new destination. IMPORTANT: The Departure Travel Payment can be requested by contacting the BE Central Secretariat within two years of the contract end date.
    • Depending on your contract, the BE Central Secretariat may contact you to request additional information (e.g. details of family members) before launching the Departure Travel Payment).
  3. BE Central Secretariat will check with the MoP if the bank details remain the same and if necessary, request the MoP to provide updated bank details via CERNBox (CH IBAN not required). The Departure Travel payment (based on a lump sum) will then be launched in EDH.
  4. The Claims Office will review and approve the request. Then, the Salary Office will proceed with the payment.
  5. The Member of the Personnel (MoP) will receive the payment within the following weeks.

Important:

– Swiss CH IBAN is not mandatory. IBANs from any country are accepted, if they can receive transfers in Swiss francs.

– Revolut accounts with IBAN in any country are accepted, with the exception of IBANs starting with CH.
