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’aoĂ»t de l’annĂ©e dernière, les salariĂ©s peuvent bĂ©nĂ©ficier de deux congĂ©s supplĂ©mentaires s’ils ont des raisons familiales urgentes ou s’ils doivent s’occuper d’un membre de leur famille : le congĂ© d’aidant et le congĂ© 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 congĂ©s ont-ils Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ©s jusqu’Ă  prĂ©sent ?
  • Qui peut contrĂ´ler s’il y a une “raison mĂ©dicale grave” pour demander un congĂ© d’aidant ? Comment ce contrĂ´le est-il effectuĂ© ?
  • Existe-t-il un modèle de certificat mĂ©dical Ă  fournir pour demander le congĂ© d’aidant ? Dans la nĂ©gative, Monsieur le Ministre sait-il si un tel modèle est encore en cours d’Ă©laboration et dans quels dĂ©lais il pourrait ĂŞtre disponible ?
  • Est-il possible de contester des certificats mĂ©dicaux peu clairs ? Dans l’affirmative, Monsieur le Ministre dispose-t-il dĂ©jĂ  de chiffres concernant des certificats contestĂ©s ?
  • Combien de temps faut-il Ă  l’employeur pour obtenir de l’État la prise en charge de 50% du salaire versĂ© prĂ©vue pour ces deux nouveaux congĂ©s ?»
