I kindly ask you to forward the below request to your HR departments.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> 1. *Eligibility of the fellows: *please provide a written</div>
<div>> confirmation**that the mobility rule is respected for the DCs</div>
<div>> recruited. We must inform the PO in writing accordingly.</div>
<div>> 2. Ensure that all DCs are receiving their *salaries *according to the</div>
<div>> amounts and rules defined in the MSCA Work Programme (living</div>
<div>> allowance, *mobility *and family allowance, correct currency</div>
<div>> conversion etc). It is strongly encouraged that a breakdown with</div>
<div>> amounts is provided to the DCs pay slips. Any tuition fees related</div>
<div>> to the PhD enrolment, *visa fees*, *fee for the resident permit in</div>
<div>> Ireland*, travel costs, training, language courses or any other</div>
<div>> similar fees are to be covered by the institutional costs and not to</div>
<div>> be charged to the DCs. In case of amounts mistakenly charged to the</div>
<div>> DCs, these must be reimbursed immediately. All fellows should</div>
<div>> receive the *mobility allowance *as foreseen in the Grant Agreement.</div>
<div>> *__*</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> *_All beneficiaries are requested to cross-check with their HR </div>
<div>> department and ensure proper payment of their DCs according to the </div>
<div>> allowances foreseen in the Programme. This needs to be confirmed by </div>
<div>> each beneficiary to the coordinator and then the coordinator to duly </div>
<div>> confirm back to REA PO by including relevant exchanged confirmation </div>
<div>> emails with the linked DCs in copy. _*</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> 3. Beneficiaries must assist DCs with the *administrative procedures</div>
<div>> for visa issuing *and reimburse them in case of fees paid out of</div>
<div>> their own pocket. </div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> I have prepared a template for the confirmation (see attached) but </div>
<div>> please feel free to adapt as needed.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> Thank you all very much in advance for your help with this request </div>
<div>> from the EC project officer.</div>
