Medical assessment procedure for seasonal employees
Last update
As the manager of a farm or business operating in the agriculture, viticulture or horticulture sectors, you must follow a specific procedure when hiring seasonal or casual employees.
To simplify the mandatory medical formalities associated with hiring, a custom multilingual form has been made available, which you simply send to the relevant departments.
Who is concerned
Any business or company active in the agriculture, viticulture and horticulture sectors that employs seasonal or casual employees who are nationals of an EU member state.
Prerequisites
The physician, whether a general practitioner or specialist, who completes the form must be authorised to practise:
- in Luxembourg; or
- in another EU country.
How to proceed
Medical forms
You must:
- download the form (see 'Online services and forms' below);
- have it completed by a physician;
- send the completed form, by email only, to the Occupational Health Department (within the Health Directorate – Ministry of Health and Social Security).
Completing the form
It is the physician's responsibility to complete all required fields on the form and sign it by hand or electronically.
The physician may then forward it either:
- to the employee concerned; or
- directly by email to the Occupational Health Department.
Sending the form to the Occupational Health Department
The Occupational Health Department receives the form in one of 3 ways:
- from the employee. The employee concerned, who has previously received the completed form from the physician, may send it directly by email to: seasonalwork@ms.etat.lu; or
- from the physician. The physician may send the completed form directly by email to: seasonalwork@ms.etat.lu; or
- from the employer. If the employee voluntarily submits their medical form to their employer, the employer may also forward the form by email to the Occupational Health Department.
Please note: paper forms sent by post will not be accepted.
