Employers receive a return-to-work bonus (€1,725) when they help a long-term incapacitated worker return to work, possibly with an adapted job. The Government has decided to make this measure permanent, which is particularly important for SMEs. Indeed, a long-term absence due to illness often weighs on the functioning of an SME, as it leads to a loss of expertise, a lack of continuity and an increased workload for colleagues. This extension reflects the Government's commitment to reintegrating long-term sick workers into work, with a focus on both accountability and the necessary financial support.
