UT employees, who have already paid their annual or semi-annual contribution, will get a refund. They don't need to take an extra action. The Personnel Department has reached an agreement with the Student Union on the free of charge employee offer and has made money available.
The Xtra-card has the advantage that employees can use the fitness room, swimming pool and sports facilities, outside of the company sport hours. Tennis is free and reduced prices apply for cultural shows and participation in sport courses. People can also enrol as members in the various associations the UT has to offer.
