The career savings system, which was introduced by the law of 5 March 2017 on feasible and manageable work, allows private sector employees to save time.

The time saved will be taken up later as leave (see our Infoflash of 4 April 2017).

The social partners had until 31 January 2018 to work out an interprofessional regulation on career savings.

However, no agreement has been reached and it is now up to the joint committees to activate the career savings measure and to conclude a collective labour agreement (CLA) containing a sectoral career savings system.

In the absence of a sectoral CLA concluded within 6 months from the date of referral to the President of the joint committee, the companies may conclude a CLA and introduce their own career savings system under the terms of the law of 5 March 2017.
