Extension of palliative leave and time credit

Workable and flexible work

Downloads The extension of the motivated time credit, as provided by the statute "Workable and Flexible Work" will not apply since this matter has been regulated by a collective labour agreement, which will be applicable at the latest as from 1 April 2017.
The statute "Workable and Flexible Work" provides for an extension of the motivated time credit (caring of a child up to the age of 8 years, nursing of a heavily ill family member, palliative nursing, caring of a handicapped child up to the age of 21 year, nursing of a minor heavily ill child). However these stipulations apply only if no collective labour agreement is entered into within the framework of the National Labour Council, providing for a similar extension.

On 20 December 2016 the industrial relations partners signed such a collective labour agreement within the framework of the National Labour Council (CLA n° 103ter). This collective labour agreement will be applicable at the latest as from 1 April 2017.

Consequently, the stipulations of the statute "Workable and Flexible Work" do not apply.

The CLA n° 103ter will be commented on in a later stage.
