Why Choose Securex for Outplacement?
When to offer Outplacement?
Securex provides support for individuals and groups in the case of both individual and collective redundancy.
General scheme
Employers must offer outplacement when terminating an employee with a notice period of at least 30 weeks.
Special Scheme
Employees aged 45 and over, with at least one year of service, are entitled to outplacement and must follow it.
Collective termination
All employees with permanent contracts benefit from an outplacement program. Employers must create an employment cell offering outplacement, in consultation with the competent region. Fixed-term and temporary workers can also join the employment cell and benefit from an outplacement program.
How much does Outplacement cost?
The exact cost depends on the type of termination. In some cases, not all costs are borne by the employer:
- If the notice period is at least 30 weeks, the employer can deduct 4 weeks from this period.
- According to the joint committee, an intervention is provided by the competent sectoral fund.
- In case of collective termination, part of the costs is reimbursed by ONEM.
- In case of bankruptcy, outplacement is organized and paid for by the Social Intervention Fund.
How to Offer Outplacement?
The employer must send the outplacement offer by registered letter to the terminated employee. The timing of the offer depends on the type of termination.
