The law of 30 October 2022 containing various provisions on incapacity for work, which amends the current regulation regarding the production of a medical certificate, has just been published in the Belgian Official Gazette.

This law enters into force on 28 November 2022.

The exemption from producing a medical certificate 3 times per calendar year for the 1st day of incapacity for work enters into force on 28 November 2022.

Since the law enters into force at the end of the year and no pro rata rule has been provided for, the employee can still make use of the exemption from producing a medical certificate 3 times during the rest of the year.

Consult our Infoflash of 4 November 2022 for more information on the exemption from producing a medical certificate.
