How often have the carers’ leave and the leave for reasons of force majeure been taken so far?

Since last year, two new types of leave can be applied for if you have to look after your family. DP MPs Carole Hartmann and Corinne Cahen wanted to know from the Minister of Labour, among other things, how often these leaves have been requested so far and how long it takes for an employer to receive the intended financial support from the state.

Question

« Depuis la fin du mois d’août de l’année dernière, les salariés peuvent bénéficier de deux congés supplémentaires s’ils ont des raisons familiales urgentes ou s’ils doivent s’occuper d’un membre de leur famille : le congé d’aidant et le congé pour raisons de force majeure.

Dans ce contexte, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre du Travail :

  • Combien de fois ces deux nouveaux congés ont-ils été utilisés jusqu’à présent ?
  • Qui peut contrôler s’il y a une “raison médicale grave” pour demander un congé d’aidant ? Comment ce contrôle est-il effectué ?
  • Existe-t-il un modèle de certificat médical à fournir pour demander le congé d’aidant ? Dans la négative, Monsieur le Ministre sait-il si un tel modèle est encore en cours d’élaboration et dans quels délais il pourrait être disponible ?
  • Est-il possible de contester des certificats médicaux peu clairs ? Dans l’affirmative, Monsieur le Ministre dispose-t-il déjà de chiffres concernant des certificats contestés ?
  • Combien de temps faut-il à l’employeur pour obtenir de l’État la prise en charge de 50% du salaire versé prévue pour ces deux nouveaux congés ?»

More legal certainty before the labour court?

If a staff representative has been suspended due to serious misconduct, an employer can request that the employment relationship be terminated in court, e.g. via a counterclaim. However, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann were informed that the President of the Labour Court repeatedly rejects these applications. This leads to problems in the enforcement of labour law and to legal and financial difficulties for the employer. The DP MPs therefore wanted to know from the Minister of Labour how he interprets the relevant paragraph in the Labour Code, whether the rejection of the counterclaim by the President of the Labour Court is in accordance with the law and whether more legal certainty should be provided.
