In case of sickness or occupational disability, you will receive an allowance of up to 100% in the first year and 70% in the second year of your last- earned annual income in addition to the benefit under Article 7:629 DCC.

When calculating your annual income, structural salary increases as referred to in Article 6.7 will be taken into consideration.

In the second year of illness, you can also qualify for a supplementary payment up to a maximum of 100% of your annual income. This supplement is granted if and insofar as, in accordance with the reintegration plan, you:
  1. go back to work; and/or
  2. follow a retraining programme; and/or
  3. engage in reintegration activities in consultation with the company doctor. Also if this means that you temporarily do not engage in activities in consultation with the company doctor.
 
You will also be paid a supplementary payment up to 100% if due to the nature of your illness reintegration can no longer be expected. The company doctor decides whether this is the case.
 
You can never be paid more income than you would be paid if you were fully fit for work.
 
If, on commencing  employment, you have deliberately furnished incorrect or incomplete information regarding your health – insofar as this is relevant to your carrying out the job - your entitlement to the supplementary payments referred to in this article is invalid.
