How are the training hours calculated?
The law of October 3, 2022, better known as the « labor deal », defines the employers subject to this law as well as the number of days granted based on the number of employees.
General rule
| Number of employees | Number of days |
|---|---|
| From 0 to 9 | 0 (optional) |
| From 10 to 19 | Special arrangement. If full-time complete year = 1 day |
| As from 20 | Normal arrangement. If full-time complete year = 4 days in 2023 and 5 days as from 2024 |
Exceptions per sectoral CLA
A sectoral Collective Labor Agreement (CLA) can change the number of days allocated by making a training day mandatory for companies with fewer than 10 employees and/or by changing the number of training days via a trajectory that may extend over several years.
The full text of all collective agreements can be consulted on the website Federale Overheidsdienst Werkgelegenheid, Arbeid en Sociaal Overleg
