State civil service: arrangements for long-term sick leave and sick leave are changing
Publié le 03 septembre 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
As a public servant, you can be placed on long-term sick leave if you have a disabling condition that requires long-term treatment. When, as a member of the contract staff governed by public law, you find yourself in the same medical situation, you may be granted sick leave under conditions. The remuneration received in connection with these 2 sick leave periods increases as from 1er September 2024 in the state civil service.
There are different types of sick leave, depending on the severity of the condition and/or the length of the work stoppage. This means that when you have a serious illness that can affect you for several years, regular sick leave is no longer appropriate. If, in addition to being unable to carry out your duties, your state of health necessitates treatment and prolonged care and is of confirmed incapacitation and severity, you may benefit from:
- long-term sick leave (up to 3 years), if you are a civil servant;
- serious sick leave (up to 3 years), if you are a public service contract employee.
These two sick leave schemes evolve to:
- officials of the State civil service;
- contract staff governed by public law of the State.
As of 1er September 2024, as an official of the State civil service on long-term sick leave or as a contract official of public law of the State on serious sick leave:
- on 1re year of your sick leave, you receive the full amount of your index treatment and 33% of your compensation plan ;
- the 2e and 3e years, you receive 60% of your index salary and your compensation plan.
Previously, you were paid your entire salary for 1 year, then halved for the next 2 years; and throughout your leave you were no longer receiving your compensation plan.
Conditions for entitlement to sick leave evolve also from 1er September 2024 for public law contract agents of the State. You can now apply to be placed on serious sick leave provided you are active and have at least 4 months of service. Previously, it was necessary to have at least 3 years of services in order to benefit from them.
Please note
As a public official on long-term sick leave, you also receive:
- all of your residence allowance and your family treatment supplementthroughout the period of leave;
- your entire new index enhancement (NBI) for one year, then 60% of that NBI for the next 2 years until you're replaced.
As a public-law contract staff member of the State on serious sick leave, you will also receive:
- the full amount of your family treatment supplement, throughout the leave period;
- your entire residency allowance for one year, then 60% for the next 2 years.
Reminder
In order to be granted long-term or serious sick leave, you must send an application to your employer administration accompanied by a medical certificate issued by your treating doctor. Your sick leave shall be granted after the medical advice.
