Additionally, temporary work contracts for end-of-career employees will remain valid until June 30, allowing laid-off workers to access unemployment benefits.

On March 28, 2025, the Belgian government approved an agreement reached by the Groupe des dix regarding social policy issues.

The agreement also includes a suspension of the Federal Learning Account, an online service for managing training rights, until July 1, 2025, with a law already passed to delay its implementation until September 1, 2025.

Economy Minister David Clarinval expressed satisfaction with the validation of the agreement, emphasizing the effectiveness of social dialogue in Belgium.

This agreement extends the regime of unemployment with company supplement (RCC) until June 30, 2025, with no new entrants accepted after this date.

Since 2008, employers have been permitted to provide non-recurring performance bonuses to employees, and the Group of Ten has requested clarification on this practice to ensure its legal support.

Overall, the agreement focuses on four key points related to employment and unemployment benefits.

The RCC scheme, which includes a company supplement for former pre-pensions, will incur an estimated cost of approximately 9.5 million euros.
