When will the new rules come into force?
Currently if you are feeling a bit off colour and are too ill to work you are obliged to provide you employer with a sick note from day one. Soon this will change, but how soon?
"The new law will first need to be publised in the State Journal”, Geert Vermeir told VRT News. “Ten days after publication the new rule will become law. I estimate that this will be in the second half of November, possibly at the end of November”.
Do the new rules apply to everyone?
