The gradual increase of the age and career conditions with a view to the system of unemployment with company supplement was initiated by the government agreement of December 2011 that led to the Royal Decree of 28 December 2011. This tendency is reinforced by the government agreement of 10 October 2014. The age condition that must be met by dismissed workers in order to be entitled to the system of unemployment with company supplement will be increased once more as from 1 January 2015.
Below we discuss the systems of unemployment with company supplement that will be applicable in 2015. We'll take a closer look at:
o the age and career conditions specified by the Royal Decree of 28 December 2011. These conditions will apply from 1 January 2015 in the absence of a subsequent amendment of the law. They will also apply for the workers with a period of notice commencing before a certain date (see below);
o the age conditions specified in the government agreement of 10 October negotiated by the Michel I government. In order to be applied, these conditions must be laid down in a text of law. A retrospective text together with transitional measures must not be ruled out.
Except for the specific case of enterprises in difficulty or restructuring, these are the systems of unemployment with company supplement that are applicable as from 1 January 2015:

1 Transitional measures should be provided for workers with a term of notice beginning not later than 31.10.2014 (former system of unemployment with company supplement at 60 years) or on 30.10.2014 (former system of unemployment with company supplement at 56 years).
2 The politics programme is still missing accuracy and does not have the force of law. The provisions of the government agreement must be laid down in a text of law before they can be applied.
3 Subject to the extension of the system after 31.12.2014.
4 Profession involving heavy work: successive shifts, continuous work or shift work with nightwork. This system of unemployment with company supplement may be abolished from 01.01.2015.
5 Subject to an extension, the cba that provides for this scheme shall end on 31.12.2015.
The following systems shall no longer apply to the workers of whom the contracts end as from 1 January 2015:
- System of unemployment with company supplement from 58 years for disabled workers or workers with serious physical problems (cba No 105);
- System of unemployment with company supplement from 57 years provided by a collective bargaining agreement in the sector or the company deposited no later than 1 September 1987.
The age and career conditions determined by the Royal Decree of 28 December 2011 and required to benefit the system of unemployment with company supplement from 1 January 2015 will continue to apply for the workers of whom the periods of notice have already started or will start before a certain date. The date currently set is 31 October 2014.
If maintained, the step-up system could refine the adjustments made by the Royal Decree of 28 December 2011 and the government agreement of 10 October 2014.
According to this system, the worker who meets the age and career conditions specified by a collective agreement applicable at the time of his application, has the right to 'freeze' his right to the system of unemployment with company supplement in order to exercise it later, at the time of his dismissal.
This means that a worker who has frozen his right to the bridging pension from 58 years before 31 December 2014, whilst a collective agreement was applicable at the time he met the age and career conditions, shall be entitled to the system of unemployment with company supplement from 58 years if he is dismissed after 1 January 2015.
Until 31 December 2014 the employer who ends the employment contract of a worker under 60 years with a view to the system of unemployment with company supplement is obliged to replace him for 36 months by a fully unemployed person entitled to unemployment benefits or or an equated person.
From 1 January 2015 the replacement obligation will have to be met when the contract of a worker under 62 years is ended with a view to a system of unemployment with company supplement on the basis of a cba or a collective agreement other than the cba No 17, except if the worker was 60 years old not later than 31 December 2014.
