Medical force majeure

Sometimes, a reintegration process or medical evaluation shows that you can no longer perform your job permanently, even with adaptations. In that case, the employment contract may be terminated due to medical force majeure.

This is a serious step. We always handle it with the utmost care, in line with legislation and with respect for your situation.

  • When does medical force majeure apply?

    – You have been continuously ill for at least 9 months.
    – The occupational doctor confirms in writing that you are permanently unfit for the agreed job.
    No adapted or alternative work is possible within Group-f.

    Only then can the process be formally started.

  • How does the process go?
    1. Examination by the occupational doctor after 9 months of absence.
    2. The doctor prepares a report confirming your permanent unfitness.
    3. HR investigates whether internal alternatives exist.
    4. If no employment is possible, the file is closed.
    5. You receive written notice of contract termination due to medical force majeure.
  • What are your rights?

    – You remain covered by the health insurance fund.
    – You can file an appeal if you disagree with the medical decision.
    – You are entitled to support in finding alternative work outside Group-f (via VDAB, GTB, …).

Important

This is not a dismissal for economic or personal reasons, but a medically established situation.
You are not entitled to notice pay, but this is compensated through your health fund and possible employment measures.

Questions?

HR or the Securex occupational doctor can explain the procedure. You are not alone.
