Reclassification leave shall be available to any employee of a company or establishment of at least 1 000 employees who is threatened with dismissal on economic grounds. Pursuant to the Social Security Financing Act for 2021, a decree published in Official Journal may 21, 2021, increases the duration of this leave to a maximum of 24 months (from the current 12 months) in the case of vocational retraining. It also specifies how part-time work linked to family leave is to be taken into account in calculating the allowance paid.
As from 22 May 2021, the period of retraining leave for employees with a company of at least 1 000 employees threatened by economic dismissal may be extended to 24 months if the employees concerned undergo retraining.
As of 1er July 2021, where the employee has been on part-time parental, education, paternity or caregiving leave during the last 12 months prior to the notification of his/her dismissal, the remuneration due to him/her shall be calculated on the basis of his/her full-time remuneration, including for periods during which the employee has worked part-time.
