Medical leave and return-to-work.
Being on sick leave in Belgium raises a lot of questions: which papers to sign, what to tell the occupational physician, when to return, on what terms. I'll help you understand the process, prepare for the meetings and make decisions that protect both your health and your job.
What the programme includes
- Medical review of your situation and current functional capacity.
- Clear read on your rights and duties with the employer, insurer and occupational physician (arbeidsarts).
- Analysis of your options: progressive return to work, medical force majeure, workplace adjustment, FEDRIS.
- Preparation for the key meetings (preliminary visit, formal reintegration examination, the 8-week evaluation).
- Concrete recommendations on what to document and how to communicate with each actor.
Who is this for?
- People on leave for stress, burnout or physical or mental health issues.
- Anyone facing a return-to-work proposal and unsure how to respond.
- Professionals who want a second opinion before accepting medical force majeure.
- Partners or family members who want to understand the process and offer better support.
How we work
Clarity session
We listen to where you are and what decisions are on the table.
Case analysis
We review your clinical history, documents and communications with insurer or employer.
Roadmap
We define concrete steps: what to do before, during and after each meeting.
Follow-up
We adjust the strategy as the process unfolds.
A well-managed leave isn't just about resting: it's about preparing a sustainable return. Better arrive at each meeting with clarity than improvise under pressure.
