With the IKB, Ministry of Defence employees can decide for themselves when, what, and how much budget they spend on time, money, or fiscal facilities. This can be up to the maximum of the monthly accrued budget. The IKB can be used for:

• A maximum of 15 percent of the salary can be used monthly for the exchange of commuting allowances.
• The monthly difference between the commuting allowance for own transportation and the fiscal maximum.
• A bicycle for personal use, including bicycle accessories and bicycle insurance.
• A computer that can also be used for work or study, including computer accessories and computer insurance.
• A battery or electrical parts for a bicycle.
• The payment of trade union contributions.
• The Ministry of Defence expects to further expand the possibilities of the IKB in the future.

Ministry of Defence

Organization description

The Ministry of Defence is committed to the interests, welfare, and freedom of the Netherlands. We are active daily at home and abroad. Our worldwide deployment strengthens international cooperation and ensures that people can develop freely. Now and in the future.

Approximately 79,000 people work directly and indirectly for peace and security at the Ministry of Defence. The Ministry consists of the Materiel & IT Command (COMMIT), the Administrative Staff (the department), the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Royal Netherlands Army, the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, and the Defence Support Command (DOSCO).

The Ministry of Defence is one of the largest employers in the Netherlands and exhibits similarities with a large company. The operational commands (sea, land, and air forces), the Marechaussee, DOSCO, and COMMIT resemble operating companies.

The armed forces protect what is dear to us. The Defence Support Command (DOSCO) makes an essential contribution to this. With over 10,000 employees, we support the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marechaussee anytime and anywhere. We do this at Defence locations, during daily activities, on exercises, and during deployments. We ensure that the armed forces have an advantage in combat!

At DOSCO, you contribute to a strong Defence organization. We are one of the most versatile parts of the Ministry of Defence. From catering to security, from real estate to logistics, from facilities to procurement, from HR to medical care, behind every soldier is a team of professionals who provide support 24 hours a day. You don't have to be a soldier to work at DOSCO. DOSCO is about craftsmanship, reliability, and connection.
