Hiring a disabled worker or a worker under a redeployment scheme

Any private-sector employer with at least 25 salaried workers is required to hire at least one disabled worker on a full-time basis. This quota is raised to 2% of the total number of workers for businesses with at least 50 salaried workers and to 4% of the total number of workers for businesses with at least 300 salaried workers.

Employers who hire a number of disabled workers which is above the compulsory employment quota are exempt from paying the employer's contribution of the social security charges for these workers.

Under certain conditions, employers who hire a disabled worker may be entitled to a salary participation or to a subsidy for adaptation of the workplace.

Creating a re-integration job for a long-term unemployed

Re-integration jobs for long-term unemployed can be created by:

  • the State
  • municipalities and communal unions
  • public institutions
  • social impact companies whose share capital is made up of 100% impact shares
  • non-profit associations (asbl)
  • foundations

Prerequisites

  1. Applicants eligible for integration jobs must be
    • at least 30 years old
    • registered with ADEM and unemployed for at least 12 months
  2. A permanent work contract (CDI) must be concluded for a new position and not for an existing position that has become vacant and for which the possibility of replacement by normal recruitment exists.
  3. The employer must consult the staff delegation on the creation of a new integration job for long-term unemployed.
