Candidate Expenses

Interview Expenses

Candidates attending for selection for Lectureship and Senior Administrative posts may have their costs reimbursed by Trinity College, i.e. air fares, prepaid hotel and meals.

In the case of research staff, reimbursement is at the sole discretion and approval of the Principal Investigator and application should be made to them.

All receipts must be retained and sent back to the Human Resources Department along with an Expenses Form (XLS 49 kB) to:

Recruitment,

Human Resources,

House No. 4,

Trinity College,

Dublin 2.

The Human Resources Department authorises payment and sends the expenses form onto the Treasurer's office for a cheque to be issued. If the cheque is to be paid in Euro, then it should take no more than 2-3 weeks; A US Dollar or Sterling cheque can take 3-4 weeks to issue.

Please note that there are two forms, one for staff-members and one for non staff-members. Staff members will be paid through bank transfer unless they request otherwise.

External Assessor Expenses

There is a small amount available to cover external assessors time, travel and incidental expenses. Contact the Recruitment Office for the correct claim form. hr@tcd.ie

Relocation Expenses

Successful candidates for permanent posts can claim fixed sums for the relocation of their possessions to Dublin. These must be supported by receipts and submitted as soon as possible to the Human Resources Department following commencement.

Fixed Rates

Removal from points in Ireland outside:

• Dublin to Dublin: Up to €254
• From Northern Ireland to Dublin: Up to €508
• From Great Britain to Dublin: Up to €762
• From Outside the British Isles to Dublin: Up to €1270

A Euro cheque should issue in 2-3 weeks; A US Dollar or Sterling cheque should issue in 3-4 weeks. Please contact Recruitment to verify if you qualify for removal expenses. (i.e. if paid by a research grant, you must discuss with your grant holder if he/she is willing to grant permission for removal expenses to be paid).

Individual departments may on occasion decide to further subsidise candidates from their own income sources.
