How often have the carers’ leave and the leave for reasons of force majeure been taken so far?

Since last year, two new types of leave can be applied for if you have to look after your family. DP MPs Carole Hartmann and Corinne Cahen wanted to know from the Minister of Labour, among other things, how often these leaves have been requested so far and how long it takes for an employer to receive the intended financial support from the state.

Question

« Depuis la fin du mois d’août de l’année dernière, les salariés peuvent bénéficier de deux congés supplémentaires s’ils ont des raisons familiales urgentes ou s’ils doivent s’occuper d’un membre de leur famille : le congé d’aidant et le congé pour raisons de force majeure.

Dans ce contexte, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre du Travail :

  • Combien de fois ces deux nouveaux congés ont-ils été utilisés jusqu’à présent ?
  • Qui peut contrôler s’il y a une “raison médicale grave” pour demander un congé d’aidant ? Comment ce contrôle est-il effectué ?
  • Existe-t-il un modèle de certificat médical à fournir pour demander le congé d’aidant ? Dans la négative, Monsieur le Ministre sait-il si un tel modèle est encore en cours d’élaboration et dans quels délais il pourrait être disponible ?
  • Est-il possible de contester des certificats médicaux peu clairs ? Dans l’affirmative, Monsieur le Ministre dispose-t-il déjà de chiffres concernant des certificats contestés ?
  • Combien de temps faut-il à l’employeur pour obtenir de l’État la prise en charge de 50% du salaire versé prévue pour ces deux nouveaux congés ?»

Second classroom support staff and A-EBS in cycle 1 of primary education

To ensure more effective pedagogical differentiation from the start of schooling, the coalition agreement foresees the gradual introduction of a second classroom support worker in cycle 1. This second staff member could also play a key role in the rollout of Project Alpha, especially in preparing children for literacy in German or French. Furthermore, assistants for pupils with special educational needs (A-EBS) are set to ease the workload of specialised teachers. Our MPs Gilles Baum and Barbara Agostino have submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister to clarify the implementation timeline and progress of these initiatives.
