Better management of relapses after returning to work

15/05/2026
In brief

To avoid the “revolving door” effect, a relapse into illness will only give renewed entitlement to 30 days of guaranteed salary after 8 weeks back at work, compared with 2 weeks previously. This measure aims to limit overly short back-and-forths between returning to work and incapacity, which undermine business organisation and do not always encourage a lasting return. It encourages better-prepared, more stable returns to work, more suited to the worker's actual situation.
