FAQ about employment terms and conditions

Read below the answers to the most frequently asked questions about our terms of employment.

Where and when can I work?

We offer flexible working hours and the opportunity to work from home, allowing you to fit your work schedule around your personal needs and commitments. On a 40-hour full-time contract, working four nine-hour days and then just four hours on Fridays is possible.

Iv works with you to ensure your home workspace is safe and complete. You can choose various accessories for your home workspace when you begin employment. For example, a desk, office chair, monitor and/or noise-cancelling headphones.

How many days of annual leave am I entitled to?

Want to catch your breath, discover the world or just take a day off? We believe that a good balance between work and rest is essential. That’s why we give everyone a minimum of 31 days annual leave to recharge their batteries. In addition, you can buy or sell an extra 7 days, according to your wishes.

You are entitled to 8% holiday pay each year. You can choose to receive this as a single payment in May or as monthly payments.

I do not have a car. How do I get to the office?

It is of course possible to travel to our offices by public transport. You will receive a travel allowance for this. If you have to travel more than 30 kilometres, you can use a commuter car for a small fee. If you need a company car for your work, you can opt for a leased car through the company.

Will I also receive a travel allowance?

Whether you travel by public transport or car, we provide a travel allowance, ample parking and charging facilities.

Is there an Iv pension scheme?

You can choose between a good market-based pension or a superannuation pension. As your employer, Iv will make a large, fixed contribution to your pension, and you can choose whether to contribute the same or make a smaller personal contribution. This way, you can decide the composition of your salary and pension arrangement.

How does the annual bonus work?

You will receive an annual bonus in December. This is set at 7% of your gross annual salary and is almost a thirteenth month! Would you prefer to have your 7% end-of-year bonus paid into your account on a monthly basis? That is also possible!

How does the profit-sharing bonus work?

Iv is a social company. We believe that your share in the company’s success should be valued. So, through a profit-sharing bonus, everyone gets a share of the company’s profits. The amount of the bonus depends on the profit achieved and has been set at 12.8% of gross annual salary for 2025.
