Professors at UZH may apply to the Professorships Department for family benefits for their children.
To enable us to review your entitlement to family benefits, please complete the SVA's employee application form (in German), sign it, and send it with the necessary enclosures to the Professorships Department (familienzulagen@prof.uzh.ch).
Changes to your entitlement to the allowance (e.g. should your child begin an vocational training course) must also be reported to the Professorships Department (familienzulagen@prof.uzh.ch), using the SVA's employee change reporting form (in German).
Family benefits are paid out by UZH with your monthly salary.
It is your responsibility to always report any changes in your personal circumstances or changes affecting the child in connection with family allowances immediately in writing to the Professorships Department (familienzulagen@prof.uzh.ch).
This includes in particular events such as:
Unjustified receipt of benefits and violation of reporting obligations are punishable by law.
