Employee Care
Social fund
The rules for creation and use of the Social Fund are set by a Directive of the Rector (available in Czech). The Directive is followed by the methodological guideline on the provision of allowances, gifts and returnable loans from the UP social fund (available in Czech). The provision of allowances, gifts and returnable loans from the social fund of the UP Faculty of Science regulates the Dean's decision, which is available on the Official Notice Board of the faculty.
Under defined conditions employees can benefit from supplementary pension insurance, private and life insurance, contribution toward cultural and sporting events, rehabilitation, vitamins and vaccinations, catering allowance. Presents for life and work jubilees, and non-interest-bearing loans to overcome difficult financial situation are paid from this fund.
Benefits
Additional benefits for UP staff outside the social fund resulting from partnership contracts are addressed by the Department of Care of UP Staff. The offer of external partners and information on discounts for UP staff in university facilities can be found here.
