Why is it not possible to do an apprenticeship as a disabled worker?

Young people with a disability do not seem to be able to do an apprenticeship in Luxembourg and at the same time have the status of a disabled worker. DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann have asked the relevant ministers why this is not possible and whether there are plans to remedy this situation?

Question

« En France, les travailleurs handicapés ont la possibilité de suivre un apprentissage. Pour répondre à leurs besoins spécifiques, ils peuvent bénéficier d’aménagements particuliers, tels que la mise à disposition de matériel pédagogique spécifique ou la possibilité de suivre une formation “à distance”.

Au Luxembourg, par contre, il ne semble pas possible pour un jeune en situation de handicap de bénéficier d’un statut de salarié handicapé pendant un apprentissage.

Dans ce contexte, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre du Travail et à Monsieur le Ministre de l’Éducation nationale, de l’Enfance et de la Jeunesse :

  • Pourquoi n’est-il pas possible pour un jeune en situation de handicap de faire un apprentissage tout en ayant le statut de salarié handicapé ?
  • Qu’en est-il des apprentissages en cours d’emploi ? Est-ce que d’autres dispositions sont prévues lorsque la personne bénéficie déjà du statut de salarié handicapé lorsqu’elle intègre un apprentissage en cours d’emploi ?
  • Est-il prévu de remédier à cette situation le plus rapidement possible afin de faciliter l’accès des personnes handicapées au marché du travail en général et aux apprentissages en particulier ? Dans l’affirmative, s’inspirerait-on du modèle français ? Dans la négative, pour quelles raisons ? »

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.
