Types of temporary unemployment
If there is insufficient work for all employees (e.g. due to a temporary fall in the number of orders), the employer can introduce a temporary unemployment scheme based on lack of work on economic grounds. Under this scheme, the employees continues to be employed, but the execution of their employment contract is suspended temporarily, whether in full or in part. This allows for potential redundancies to be avoided.
Comments
•Aside from force majeure, this is the only type of temporary unemployment that can also be used for white-collar workers. •Before you can request a first day economic reasons, a notification for economic reasons must be made. •If you do not submit a notification for economic reasons via Payroll, SD Worx can only draw up a correct WECH002 and/or WECH005 if you submit economic reasons at departmental level. Only then will SD Worx have the correct data. •Only temporary unemployment for economic reasons can be extended. This is done in Follow up economic unemployment

Duration of the scheme (general rule)?
|
Full suspension
|
Duration: maximum 4 weeks + mandatory working week
|
Partial suspension
|
Major suspension
< 3 working days/week or < 1 working week/two weeks
|
Duration: maximum 3 months + mandatory working week
|
Minor suspension
> 3 work days/week or > 1 working week/two weeks
|
Duration: may be longer than 3 months, but is restricted to a maximum of 12 months.
There is no compulsory working week.
|
•Full suspension
A scheme with full suspension is possible for maximum 4 weeks (28 calendar days). The scheme can start on any day. When the maximum duration of 4 weeks is reached, the employer is under obligation to introduce a full working week of 7 working days before starting a new scheme. Comment
A scheme with only one working day per two weeks is the equivalent of a full suspension and can be requested for maximum of four weeks.
•Partial suspension
There are two possibilities. The system determines which suspension regime applies on the basis of the weekly work schedule (the number of working days and unemployment days) or the fortnightly work schedule (less or more than 1 week of work out of 2). oMajor suspension
If the employees work less than three working days per week or less than one working week per two weeks, this is referred to as a major suspension. This scheme can be requested for a maximum of 3 months (i.e. 3 calendar months, 3 months from date to date or 13 calendar weeks).
If the maximum duration of 3 months is reached, the employer is under obligation to introduce a full working week of 7 working days before starting a new scheme. oMinor suspension
If the employees work at least three working days per week or at least one working week in every two weeks, this is referred to as a minor suspension. This scheme can be requested for longer than 3 months. However, this does not mean that the scheme can be introduced for an indefinite period of time. In all cases, the announcement must be made to specify and end date (maximum 12 months). Note:
In the event of temporary unemployment on economic grounds for white-collar workers, a minor suspension is automatically passed on as a major suspension. This is specified in the instructions of the National Employment Office (RVA)/National Office of Social Security (NSSO). However, the requirement is for the Employé (white-collar worker) field to be ticked under Motif (Reason).

Période de travail obligatoire (Mandatory working days)
|
Standard 7 calendar days, this is the compulsory working week.
When the full suspension or partial suspension scheme has reached the maximum duration of 4 weeks or 3 months (for major suspension), the employer is under obligation to re-introduce the full-time work schedule for a full week before they may start a new scheme. A unbroken period of 7 calendar days is considered to be a complete working week.
Example: from Wednesday to Tuesday of the following week
The compulsory working week does not apply in case of a minor suspension.

Contrôle et envoi (control and dispatch)
|
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 means that you only see a text under Cartes de contrôle et envoi.
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.
For paper control cards, you will see fields here:
•Demandez cartes de contrôle papier et e-livre de validation: Oui. •Envoi : Standard 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.

When blue-collar workers are unable to work due to bad weather, the employer can put them on temporary unemployment.
The following conditions must be met:
•unfavourable weather conditions: frost, rain, heat, etc. •the employer is obliged to report poor weather to the National Employment Office (RVA); •the weather conditions must be so bad that it is not possible to execute the work (and not just make it difficult to work): •a direct causal relationship must exist between the bad weather and the work at hand. Example: Frost that makes masonry work impossible; rain that prevents a company responsible for road marking from performing its tasks because the road surface is wet.

If you are unable to employ your staff due to force majeure, you can put them on temporary unemployment status.
What is force majeure?
•sudden, unexpected events •that occur beyond the control of the parties, •and prevent the performance of the employment contract in full •and that are temporary in nature. Force majeure is a type of temporary unemployment requiring a notification to be sent to the National Employment Office (RVA).
If you do send a notification, you can do so via Payroll (in the Risque (Risk) field, select the Force majeure value) or via the site of the NSSO (RSZ).
If you do not send a notification (via Payroll or via the NSSO site), you must provide additional details via this channel. SD Worx needs these details to be able to properly draw up WECH002 and/or WECH005.
Note:
For medical force majeure, you are not allowed to submit a temporary notification for Force majeure.
On the field, you need to make a selection in two fields:
Il s'agit d'un (this is)
|
•a company-specific reason •a situation in your region which is generally recognised by the RVA |
Déjà effectué la déclaration via le site Web de l'ONSS? (Declaration already submitted via the NSSO website?)
|
•Oui (yes) •Non (no) |
The steps to take will be displayed based on your choices.
 Company-specific reason + declaration not yet submitted via the NSSO website
It is important to inform the RVA about the instance of force majeure via a paper file containing the necessary supporting documents.
You must state the reason of force majeure in order to deliver the C3.2 documents correctly. Click the Envoyer infos supplémentaires (Send extra information) button to do so.
