A Royal Decree of 7 December 2018 sets the framework for the introduction of temporary work in some federal services, in public companies and in HR Rail.
The aim is to provide an answer to the labour needs that require a quick solution so that the service can be guaranteed (e.g. when a staff member is suddenly absent).
This Royal Decree on the application of temporary work in some federal services, in public companies and in HR Rail in implementation of article 48 of the Act of 24 July 1987 on temporary work and the posting of employees for the purpose of users entered into force on 1 February 2019.
A brief overview.
The Royal Decree of 7 December 2018 lists the public services that can appeal to temporary work. These are in particular the following:
Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 December 2018, it is permitted to invoke temporary work in the following cases, except in the event of strike or lock-out:
There is a maximum duration for each of the forms of temporary work (in principle maximum 12 months).
The Royal Decree of 7 December 2018 also determines the conditions to be able to invoke temporary work under the motive of integration as well as the conditions to be able to conclude successive daily contracts for temporary work.
Moreover, the services that want to appeal to temporary work must observe strict and specific procedures that vary according to the service (e.g. prior negotiation with/information of the trade union organisations, etc.).
The Royal Decree of 7 December 2018 lays down a reporting and monitoring obligation.
Each service must provide the FPS Policy and Support with global information on the temporary employees (e.g. the number of temporary employees and the hours worked, per motive) every year.
