Temporary unemployment for bad weather possible per half-day
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot instelling van de mogelijkheid om bij tijdelijke werkloosheid wegens slecht weer een halvedagvergoeding toe te kennen.
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
- Employers will be able to claim temporary unemployment benefits for bad weather by the half-day instead of only for full days.
- This mainly affects construction workers, outdoor labourers, and their employers.
- As a worker, you lose less income during changeable weather, and nearby construction projects can finish sooner.
