In order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the federal government has taken a number of measures that significantly affect a large number of companies. In order to meet this need, the Flemish Government provides for a temporary modification of the incentive bonus for companies in difficulty or undergoing restructuring.
Employees who reduce their working hours with employers in the Flemish Region who observe a substantial decrease in the economic activities (20%) of the company as a result of the impact of the Corona virus measures.
The employer must draw up a plan demonstrating this decline in the company's economic activities due to the impact of the coronavirus measures.
That plan must contain the following information:
The plan must be approved by the works council or, failing that, by the trade union delegation or, failing that, by the committee for prevention and protection at work or, failing that, it must be incorporated into the labour regulations.
This extension of the incentive bonus only applies for the period from 1 April to 30 June 2020. The application must always be made in full months.
Please note that this is not an additional bonus on top of the benefits under the scheme of temporary unemployment.
The bonus depends on the working hours and the reduction in working hours applied:
In the year before the break you worked at least
During the reduction of working hours you work
Gross monthly bonus in euro (amount since 1 March 2020)
Net monthly bonus in euro (amount since 1 March 2020)
