Reintegration obligations of the employer
As an employer, you sometimes have to deal with a long-term sick employee. In that case, it is important to know what your obligations are and to work with an agency that knows what it is doing for track 2. Dynamisch Bureau is an excellent choice for this.
What is 1st and 2nd track reintegration?
As an organisation, you may have to deal with the Gatekeeper Improvement Act. This law is aimed at preventing long-term absenteeism. If one of the employees is ill for a long time, an employer must first investigate the possibilities for reintegration within their own organisation. We call this 1st track reintegration. In addition, within the Gatekeeper Improvement Act, there is also talk of 2nd track reintegration. These are all reintegration efforts aimed at a position outside the current organization.
Reliable and result-oriented reintegration agency
As an employer, it is important to engage a reliable and result-oriented reintegration agency.
Dynamisch Bureau is an excellent choice. Our counsellors have a lot of experience with second track reintegration programmes.
Since 2005, we have successfully guided thousands of people in their reintegration. Often these were people with emotional, psychological and/or physical obstacles. These include: burnout, depression, AD(H)D, autism and long-COVID.
If reintegration of the 1st track is not entirely certain or is no longer possible, it is important to start the 2nd track as soon as possible. This often runs parallel to the 1st track.
Reintegration 2nd track can save you a lot of costs as an employer. This is because you can avoid a wage sanction from the UWV. In the event of a wage sanction, you are obliged to continue to pay longer wages after two years of illness, until the approach to reintegration has been found to be in order by the UWV.
Saving labour costs
An early deployment of 2nd track reintegration can save wage costs before the two years of illness are over. For example, if the employee starts working for another employer before that period has been reached. It is often important that the employee is seen by the UWV during the WIA inspection. In that case, we recommend secondment to the new employer from the current organisation. The employee still receives his salary from the current organization, but through the secondment these are (partially) returned. For example, many employees from Dynamisch Bureau have already been guided by us to a secondment and the client has quickly earned back his investment in the process!
