Unified Employment Status Act Explanation: "On 26 December 2013, the Unified Employment Status Act entered into force, putting an end to the discriminatory treatment between blue-collar and white-collar employees with regard to the length of the notice period in case of dismissal. This Act aligns the notice periods for blue and white-collar employees for employment contracts taking effect as of 1 January 2014. Other important reforms brought about by the Unified Employment Status Act are the removal of the waiting day (‘jour de carence / carensdag’) for blue-collar employees that was preventing them from enjoying guaranteed income during their first day of sick leave and the abolition of the trial period for standard employment contracts."

To compensate for the fact that payment is now due as from the first day of incapacity, the newly adopted Unified Employment Status Act (UES Act)2 has improved the right for the employer to verify the incapacity to work.” 2 Unified Employment Status Act of December 26, 2013, concerning the introduction of a single employment status for blue-and white collar employees with regard to the notice periods and the first day of sick leave and related measures (so-called Unified Employment Status Act or UES Act).
