Job re-integration contract for jobseekers

Last update

Contrat de réinsertion-emploi - relevé de présence

Pdf

In order to help the most vulnerable persons find employment, i.e. jobseekers aged 45 or over, employees with reduced work capacity and disabled workers, the National Employment Agency (Agence pour le développement de l’emploi - ADEM) can, under certain circumstances, propose that a job re-integration contract is entered into with an employer.

The aim of this contract, which alternates between practical and theoretical training, is not only to enable jobseekers to provide employers with a practical demonstration of their skills and abilities, but also to help them acquire new skills.

The job re-integration contract is concluded for a duration of 12 months.

Who is concerned

The job re-integration contract is concluded by ADEM, the jobseeker and the employer.

This type of contract can be signed by jobseekers:

Employers wishing to enter into a job re-integration contract must be in a position to offer real job prospects at the end of the contract.

Prerequisites

Jobseekers must be registered with ADEM for at least one month before they are eligible to sign a job re-integration contract.

Duration of the contract

The job re-integration contract is concluded for a duration of 12 months.

If the contract is signed following a professionalisation internship, the duration of the internship is taken into account in the 12-month contract.

If the employer or the jobseeker wants to terminate the job re-integration contract before its contractual end, the initiating party must submit a written and motivated request to ADEM and first obtain their approval before the contract can be terminated.

Payment of an allowance

Jobseekers who do not receive unemployment benefit receive an allowance equal to the social minimum wage for unskilled workers.

People who receive unemployment benefits, a bridging allowance, an occupational bridging allowance, an occupational bridging pension or the allowance for severely disabled persons:

  • retain the benefit of that income; and
  • receive an additional monthly allowance of EUR 403.38 (at the current index value) paid by ADEM.

If the amount received under the benefits or income listed above is below the level of the social minimum wage for unskilled workers, the jobseeker receives:

  • an allowance equal to the social minimum wage for unskilled workers; and
  • the allowance of EUR 403.38 per month (at the current index value) paid by ADEM.

Each month, the employer will send ADEM a record of attendance for the payment of the allowance (see Online services and forms).

Employers who wish to do so can also pay the jobseeker a performance bonus. Such bonuses form an integral part of the jobseeker's allowance and, as such, are liable for tax.

How to proceed

Conclusion of the contract

Employers who wish to enter into such a contract with a jobseeker can:

Jobseekers cannot refuse, without a valid reason (example of a valid reason: the contract does not meet the suitable work criteria), to enter into a job re-integration contract offered by ADEM, or else they may incur the sanctions stipulated by law.

The employer appoints a mentor who is responsible for assisting and guiding the jobseeker throughout the job re-integration contract. In the first month following the signing of the contract, the business, the mentor and the jobseeker prepare a training plan, one copy of which must be sent to ADEM's Employer services (Service employeurs).

During the contract, the jobseeker is entitled to 2 days of leave per month.

If a change should occur during the performance of the contract, the employer must inform ADEM by any means (telephone, email, fax, post, etc.).

Jobseekers who are doing night work, who work overtime or on public holidays and Sundays are subject to applicable legal regulations.

End of the contract

The employer informs the ADEM, in writing, of the possibilities for integrating the jobseeker into the business.

If either the jobseeker or the employer wishes to terminate the job re-integration contract, the ADEM must be informed in advance of the desire to terminate the contract. The ADEM will verify the grounds for termination and, where applicable, will give its approval.

If the jobseeker is hired at the end of the job re-integration contract, the duration of the latter, plus that of any professionalisation internship, is considered as a trial period.

Please note that jobseekers are entitled to re-employment support if they meet the various conditions.

If the jobseeker is not hired, the employer provides ADEM with a document that must indicate:

  • the skills acquired during the course of the job re-integration contract; and
  • any shortcomings noted.

The jobseeker is then advised to contact their ADEM guidance counsellor to decide on what future actions to take.

If the employer subsequently decides to hire staff, they must give priority to the former beneficiary of the job re-integration contract, provided that the required qualifications and profile match, and that the contract has expired no more than 3 months prior to the hiring.

The employer is then required to inform the jobseeker in a timely manner. The jobseeker has 8 days to give their decision.

If a jobseeker refuses to follow up a job offer, their refusal may be considered as a refusal of suitable work, which could expose the jobseeker to legal sanctions provided for by law.
