Part of our selection procedure is a HireVue Assessment. We are not able to correspond the outcome of this HireVue Assessment but will use this as an extra selection criterion.

Our remuneration package:

• As an internship is part of the educational program of the intern, it is not allowed to pay for the internship. Payment of an internship would automatically result in a labor contract with the intern.

• Philips will however cover the costs incurred during the internship by paying an expense allowance. The expense allowance depends on whether the intern commutes from home to the office daily or stays in a room close to the office. For a daily commute, interns will receive €22/day. When renting a room close to the office, the intern receives €650/month. To receive the latter, the daily commute between the office and their “usual” place of residence must be at least 50 km or take more than 1,5 hours by public transportation.

• Interns are expected to perform their internship from one of the Philips offices in Belgium. In case interns occasionally work from home, they will receive the above-mentioned allowance; interns will not receive an additional home office allowance.

• Interns who do not create added value for the organization but are f.e. purely observational will not receive an expense allowance.

• If interns are required to travel to a location outside of the Philips offices in Belgium, they can either arrange their own transportation or rent a car through the normal channels in Philips Belgium. When using their own transportation, costs will be reimbursed in line with the policies that apply for the Philips Belgium employees.
