Employment reintegration contract

SITUATION: CORONAVIRUS / COVID-19

In the context of the Covid-19 crisis, different measures have been implemented in favour of job seekers and businesses having concluded employment reintegration or initiation contracts.

The employment reintegration contract is an employment measure aimed to develop the professional reintegration of the most vulnerable populations on the labour market, such as:

  • jobseekers over 45 years of age;
  • workers with reduced work capacity;
  • disabled workers.

The National Employment Agency (Agence pour le développement de l'emploi - ADEM) may offer the conclusion of an employment reintegration contract between a job seeker and an employer.

Note: until 30 June 2022 included, ADEM may offer an employment reintegration contract with an employer to any job seeker who is at least 30 years old and registered with ADEM for at least one month.

This contract which mainly alternates practical and theoretical training allows:

  • employers to pass on their experience and to offer a real employment prospect to older job seekers, people with reduced working capacities or disabled persons;
  • job seekers to show their capacities in a concrete manner all the while acquiring new competencies.

The employment reintegration contract is concluded for a duration of 12 months.

Who is concerned

The employment reintegration contract is concluded between the National Employment Agency (ADEM), the job seeker and the employer.

The contract can be offered to job seekers who are:

Note: until 30 June 2022 included, ADEM may offer an employment reintegration contract with an employer to any job seeker who is at least 30 years old and registered with ADEM for at least one month.

Prerequisites

In order to benefit from an employment reintegration contract, job seekers must have been registered with ADEM for a least one month.

Employers who intend to conclude an employment reintegration contract with a job seeker must be in a position to offer a real employment perspective.

ADEM will therefore verify if the employer can provide an appropriate work environment and if there are real employment perspectives.

How to proceed

Conclusion of the contract

Employers who intend to conclude such a contract with a job seeker must contact ADEM's Employer Services and submit a declaration of vacant position.

Contractual terms

Duration of the contract

The employment reintegration contract is concluded for a duration of 12 months.

If the employer or the job seeker wants to terminate the employment reintegration 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.

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

Mentoring

The employment reintegration contract enables job seekers to put forward their capacities in a concrete manner while they acquire new competencies.

To this end, the employer appoints a mentor who is responsible for assisting and guiding the job seeker throughout the employment reintegration contract.

Within the first month of the contract's entry into force, the business, the mentor and the job seeker have to set up a training plan which must be sent in copy to ADEM's Employer Services.

In the event of a change occurring during the employment reintegration contract, the employer must inform ADEM by any means (phone, email, fax, post, etc.).

Leave

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

Working time

Job seekers who are involved in night work, overtime, working on public holidays and Sunday work are subject to the applicable legal regulations, just like any other employee in the company.

Financial considerations

ADEM pays an allowance to the job seeker every month.

The allowance paid is subject to standard social security and tax contributions applicable to salaries, and the employer contributions are covered by the Employment Fund (Fonds pour l'emploi).

For the job seeker to receive their allowances in a timely manner, the employer has to send ADEM the job seeker's record of attendance each month. Employers also need to notify ADEM of any change in the job seeker's situation.

Each month, employers must pay ADEM the proportion corresponding to 50 % of the social minimum wage for unskilled workers based on an invoice issued by ADEM.

The proportion is reduced to 35 % of the social minimum wage for unskilled workers in the case the job seeker is of the under-represented gender in the sector of activity concerned.

Note: until 30 June 2022 inclusive, the monthly share to be paid by the employer to the ADEM is:
  • 50 % of the social minimum wage for unskilled workers in the case of employment of job seekers aged between 30 and less than 45 years;
  • 35 % of the social minimum wage for unskilled workers in the case of employment of job seekers:
    • aged at least 45 years old, in external redeployment, who have the status of disabled worker; or
    • of the under-represented gender.

The employer can also pay an optional performance bonus to the job seeker.

End of the contract

At the end of the employment reintegration contract, the employer informs ADEM in writing of the job seeker's employment possibilities within the company.

Hiring the job seeker

If the job seeker is hired at the end of the employment reintegration contract, the duration of the contract plus, where applicable, the duration of the professionalisation internship, must be taken into account for the trial period. Where applicable, employers can also request financial aid with respect to the hiring of older unemployed persons and the long-term unemployed.

Job seekers who are not hired

If the job seeker is not hired at the end of the employment reintegration contract, the employer must provide ADEM with a document listing the competencies acquired during the employment reintegration contract as well as the shortcomings identified.

Employers who are recruiting staff within 3 months of the end of the job seeker's employment reintegration contract must give priority to the former beneficiary of the employment reintegration contract provided that they meet the required qualifications and profile.

Employers are required to inform the job seeker in due course. The job seeker has 8 days to give their decision.

A negative reply from the job seeker will be considered as a refusal of suitable work and will involve the legal sanctions provided for in these cases.
