In the event of a reorganisation for which a social plan has been agreed, re-employment periods apply for your employer. During this term, you will receive assistance with finding another job, within or outside your employer's organisation, for instance with respect to job interviews and taking training. The reference date applying as the start date for the re-employment term is the date on which the employee becomes redundant.


The length of the re-employment period depends on the duration of your employment:

  • two months if the employment agreement has lasted less than 5 years;
  • three months if the employment agreement has lasted 5 to 10 years;
  • four and a half months if the employment agreement has lasted 10 to 15 years;
  • six months if the employment agreement has lasted 15 years or more.
