Are you a mayor, alderman or communal councillor and do you carry out your mandate in parallel to your professional career?

Your request for compensation or reimbursement of your hours of political leave in 2024 can now be submitted via MyGuichet.lu using your LuxTrust certificate or electronic identity card (eID).

If you are employing an elected communal representative, you have to submit an application for reimbursement to the Ministry of Home Affairs. This will allow you to recover the remuneration paid to the employee during their absence.

If you are an elected communal representative and you are self-employed, you must submit your own application for compensation for the hours of political leave you have taken. The application can be submitted on condition that you:

• are under 65 years of age; and
• are not registered with a statutory scheme, i.e. are not in receipt of an old age pension, disability pension or early retirement.

The application for compensation of hours of political leave in 2024 must be submitted before 30 September 2025.
