Since 1 August 2019, employees who have reduced their working time under a time credit or thematic leave may, under certain conditions, combine their interruption benefits payable by the NSSO with their income from an additional self-employed activity.
What are the conditions for this combination? And what in the event of a full suspension of work?
Since 1 August 2019, the interruption benefits received under the reduction of the working time can be combined with the income from an additional self-employed activity, provided that the employee already exercised this self-employed activity at least 12 months before the start of the time credit or the thematic leave.
This combination is authorised for a maximum period of 24 months in the event of a half-time reduction, or 60 months in the event of a reduction of 1/5th or 1/10th.
The rules will remain unchanged for employees who have fully suspended the performance of their contract in the context of a time credit or thematic leave.
If the employee already exercised the additional self-employed activity at least 12 months before the start of the reduction of the working time, the combination is authorised for a maximum period of 12 months.
If the employee continues his activity after these 12, 24 or 60 months, he loses his entitlement to the interruption benefits.
