With our expertise in employment law, we can advise you on the management of long-term absent employees.
We are regularly confronted with the following questions:
- When can I start a reintegration process? Who can start such a process?
- What are my obligations in this area towards the social bodies (WoCo, CPPW, UD)?
- Is it possible to terminate the contract of an employee unable to work because of illness?
- How to manage the return to work of an employee after a long absence?
- Does the employer have to accept a request for medical part-time?
- When can the employment contract be terminated for medical reasons?
- Which rules apply in the event of incapacity for work, in terms of guaranteed salary and control of incapacity for work?
- What sanctions should be taken when the worker avoids the medical control?
- What mechanisms can be put in place to reduce absenteeism?
We also assist employees who are absent for a long period of time (e.g. due to burn-out) by informing them of their action means or reminding the company of its obligations in this regard.
