Illness and incapacity for work
There are several things you must do when one of your employees calls in sick. For example, you must notify the occupational health and safety service (arbodienst) or your occupational health and safety doctor (arboarts) that the employee is ill. In the event of prolonged illness, you must compile a reintegration file. You may be eligible for a subsidy if you hire or have in your employment someone who is partially unfit for work.
Below is an overview of the rules and regulations, subsidies and taxes in relation to the topic “Illness and incapacity for work”.
