In the context of the Covid-19 crisis, the Government has decided to temporarily extend certain deadlines with respect to the external and internal redeployment procedure, namely:

• if the occupational physician's opinion concludes that internal redeployment is possible, the secretary of the Joint Committee must contact the employer for their opinion within 30 working days, instead of 5 working days;
• the decision of the Joint Committee shall be notified within 30 working days, instead of 15 days:
  • to the person concerned;
  • to their employer.
