Now it will be easier to request a more flexible working arrangement when caring for someone. The boss can only refuse with a written motivation.
In addition, each worker will also be entitled to five days of care leave per year, in addition to the already existing leaves for informal care and palliative care. “This leave can be used more flexibly, for example to visit a hospitalized child or to accompany a family member who has moved into a nursing home,” said Federal Employment Minister Pierre-Yves Dermagne.
In addition, stricter rules are imposed on employers if they do not extend a temporary contract and if they do not respect the statutory birth leave.
