Social elections
The ”occult protection period”
(”période de protection occulte”/”occulte
beschermingsperiode”) will start between 12 and 25 January
2020 (X-30) and will finish between 17 and 30 March 2020 (X+35)
depending on the date chosen for the social elections
As you know, the next social elections will take place between
11 and 24 May 2020.
The candidates in these social elections benefit from a specific
protection against dismissal on the basis of the Act of 19 March
1991. As a matter of fact, the employees who are standing for
election can only be dismissed for serious cause previously
recognized as such by the labour court or for economic or technical
reasons previously recognized as such by the competent joint
committee. Non-compliance with these procedures entails the payment
of protection indemnities which could amount up to 8 years of
salary
