Minister Clarinval takes note with great interest of the G10 agreement

This Monday, the Group of Ten, which brings together the main representatives of employers' and trade union organisations, met to present the agreement reached on four issues to the federal Minister of Employment, David Clarinval. He will analyse the various proposed measures and present them to the government shortly.

The G10 agreement covers four points:

• The social partners are asking that early retirement (SWT) files be allowed to be submitted until 30/06/2025. For SWT schemes, there will therefore be no new entrants from 30 June 2025, except for medical SWT.


• The trade unions and the employers' bench are also asking that the temporary CTT arrangements for end-of-career jobs also be respected until 30/06/2025, so that workers made redundant up to that date can claim unemployment benefits.


• Since 2008, employers have been able to pay their employees salary bonuses linked to non-recurring results. This gives employers a tool to further motivate their staff. For reasons of legal certainty, the Minister of Employment is asked to inform the administration that this tool can serve as a guideline.


• Federal Learning Account (FLA): pending its abolition, the social partners are asking that the suspension of its entry into force already be extended until 1 July 2025, for the sake of legal certainty.

Once this analysis has been completed, Minister Clarinval will present the G10 agreement to the government in order to determine what action should be taken.
