Expansion of temporary unemployment for extreme weather and climate risks
Official title: Wetsvoorstel betreffende de tijdelijke werkloosheid wegens slecht weer en acute klimaat- of milieugebeurtenissen.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Temporary unemployment for bad weather will also cover extreme heat and severe pollution, starting from half a day and as soon as work becomes dangerous.
- The scheme is opened to all workers, including office staff, temporary workers, students, and flexi-jobbers, rather than just manual laborers.
- If the weather makes your work dangerous and safety measures are not enough, you can stop working without losing your usual take-home pay.
