Certain companies must draw up a plan meant to maintain or increase the employment of employees aged 45 and older.
This obligation is laid down in the collective labour agreement No. 104 of 27 June 2012 on the implementation of an employment plan for older employees in the company.
Only the companies with more than 20 employees on 2 January 2021, must draw up an employment plan for older employees in the course of the first months of 2021.
The following factors must be taken into account when determining the number of employees employed:
Important! The obtained number of employees (in 2021) is fixed for 4 years (until 2025), regardless of any subsequent changes in the number of employees employed.
The employment plan for older employees must contain the following:
The employment plan for older employees must be implemented after completion of a process of information and consultation of the employees (representatives) in the company.
The first step of this process is the presentation to the employees (representatives) of a draft employment plan within, in principle, three months following the end of the financial year (following the annual information on the economic and financial situation and the employment in the company), i.e. no later than 31 March.
