In Administration of temporary unemployment, you can submit the notification for the various types of temporary unemployment and request control books and e-validation books.

If you chose to outsource the economic unemployment notifications to Proxy Support,

•you have access to a limited version of Administration of temporary unemployment,

•you do not have access to Follow up economic unemployment.

Consult your payroll officer for more information.

 

Employees whose employment contract has been suspended temporarily, whether in part or in full, qualify for benefits for the hours they are unemployed without pay.

The possible causes for temporary unemployment are: a lack of work for economic reasons, poor weather, technical failure, force majeure, medical force majeure, closure of company due to annual holiday or compensatory leave, unemployment due to a social action or suspension of white-collar worker due to lack of work.

For more information about temporary unemployment, click here (information from the www.RVA.be site).

 

The employee can only receive their wage if the correct details are transmitted to the National Employment Office (RVA) and/or SD Worx.

The Administration of temporary unemployment screen consists of two parts:

•requesting new, temporary unemployment or inspection cards only

•an overview of requests already made

Request inspection cards only

There are two possible situations:

•The notification of temporary unemployment to the National Employment Office was not made via SD Worx. If you want to apply for your inspection cards via SD Worx, you can do this yourself here.
The inspection cards are numbered by SD Worx and registered automatically in the electronic validation book. SD Worx has been authorised to do this by the National Employment Office.

•The notification of temporary unemployment is made via SD Worx, but you still use the Demander des cartes de contrôle uniquement (Inspection cards only) input. This is the case when the notification is carried out for a large population, but the inspection cards are requested on a monthly basis for employees who are effectively rendered temporarily unemployed. In this case, in the notification, you must set the Cartes de contrôles et e-livre de validation (Inspection cards and e-validation book) field to Non (this is an exception, see also: e-Control cards mandatory).

Note:
Once the inspection cards are requested via Payroll, only these inspection cards must be distributed to your employees.
You must not (for any reason whatsoever) use the pre-printed copies of the National Employment Office.
If you use our services to deliver the inspection cards via Payroll, the National Employment Office requires the documents C3.2 Employer Benefit Application (WECH002) and C3.2 Employer Proof hours (WECH005) to be sent electronically as well. For more information, please contact your payroll officer.

Note:
e-Control cards mandatory
From 01/01/2025, the electronic control card will be mandatory for all employees. This means that you as an employer:

•no longer need to keep a validation book and

•no longer need to request paper control cards and hand them over to employees.

The obligation is not applicable to employees within JIC 327 sheltered workshops, social workshops and customised workshops. This industry may continue to use the paper control card.

Deviation at employee level
If you, as an employer, opt for electronic control cards C3.2, you can temporarily deviate from this at employee level. For these employees, you must still provide paper control cards C3.2 and enter them in the validation book.
As an employer, you can apply for a temporary exemption from the obligation to use an electronic control card using a form made available by the NEO. This exception is valid for three months and can be requested a maximum of two times.
Comment: Do you want to use this divergence for employees in JIC 124 from 01/01/2025? Consult the Fonds de sécurité d’existence de la construction (Constructiv). From 2025, you can only request electronic control cards for these employees via SD Worx.

 

After clicking on the Demander des cartes de contrôle uniquement button, you will be forward to the Caractéristiques tab.

 

 

In the Sélection tab, select the (group of) employees for whom you are requesting inspection cards.
