On Friday 22 April, Minister of Work Kris Peeters announced that until 30 June 2016, employers can make use of temporary unemployment due to force majeure for workers who may still not be able to execute their normal activities because of the terrorist attacks in Brussels.
The Minister's press release however states that employers whose company is situated outside Brussels and Flemish Brabant, will have to motivate their applications for temporary unemployment due to force majeure. That is not the case for employers whose company is situated in Brussels or Flemish Brabant.
Furthermore, it is stated that employers who cannot claim force majeure, have the possibility, subject to certain conditions, to make use of economic unemployment for their workers.
The instructions of the ONEm were updated and can be consulted here.
