The HR Update published on 10 April 2020 resulted in an understandable confusion amongst our members regarding the topic “Sick leave covered by CNS“.
We recently asked for confirmation from HR about this topic.
The Director Human Resources confirmed, that in case of sick leave the Company would pay as of the 1st day of sick leave until the 77th day the difference between the Plafond (5-times the social minimum wage) and the employee’s complete salary plus other elements of the remuneration.
During this time period the amount up to the Plafond would be paid directly by the CNS and the missing amount between the Plafond and the “normal” salary of the employee by the company.
Also, an average calculated supplement is payed, which is based on the number of hours worked on public holidays, on Sundays or at night during the 12 months prior to the sickness period. Overtime work is not considered in this case.
Only as of the 1st day of the month following the month in which the 77th day of sick leave falls into, the employee would then receive the amount as foreseen by the law from the CNS, as it has always been the case before.
Please note, that this is an interim procedure implemented by the Règlement grand-ducal dated 03 April 2020.
If you notice anything that is not in line with what has been mentioned above, please contact cvboard@alpl.lu.
