The solutions included in the package concern, among others:
• economic stoppages (i.e. periods when work is not expected from employees),
• short-time work solutions (i.e. extraordinary measures allowing for the reduction of working hours),
• co-financing of employee remunerations by the State.

The new year witnessed the entry into force of the Balanced Labour Market Act, with changes regarding the following topics: i) Introduction of new ground for dismissal; ii) New calculation of transition payment and maximum payment; iii) Relaxation of provisions on succession of fixed-term employment contracts; iv) On-call workers; v) Payrolling; and vi) Change in unemployment insurance contributions
The common trend in court rulings is that certain behaviour is not acceptable. This especially applies to certain unwanted touches, such as the ‘hand on the buttock’. An employee must be blamed for such behaviour. In principle, it does not matter if the other employee gave any cause for the approach. This applies all the more so when considering the age difference between the two employees concerned. For certain behavior, the judgment reads, a warning is not necessary because you ‘just do not do that’. However, this behaviour does not directly result in a legitimate summary dismissal. All circumstances of the case need to be taken into account. An employer that accepts certain behaviour from its employees and furthermore promotes a ‘self-styled’ atmosphere designed to be informal, cannot suddenly reverse course and decide to punish morally reprehensible behaviour. Therefore, in creating an atmosphere where the lines of acceptable and unacceptable behaviour are blurred, the employer’s culpability for the misconduct of its employees is shared equally between employer and employee. While there was no doubt as to the employee’s culpability for his actions, the circumstances of the case were nevertheless insufficient to support a legitimate case for a summary dismissal
