Question about reintegration obligations 2nd track. Became ill in August 2015. Slowly started again in October, first adjusted work, then according to build-up schedule back to own work from December. In March 2016 back to 30 hours own work (40 hour contract) on advice not to expand further due to aids that had to be measured. Adjustments to workplace lasted until November in August, therefore had to go back to 25 hours. After adjustments to workplace build up hours again and that went well. Occupational expert was called in November 2016 and report came 6 weeks later that due to Gatekeeper legislation employer had to start 2nd track process (uncertainty about sustainability and that track 2 could run parallel to track 1). In the meantime from February 13 2017 fully employed in own work 40 hours. On March 1 employer reported me recovered for 35 hours and on April 30 probably fully recovered reported (they want to wait 3 months first despite the fact that things are going well). 1st appointment reintegration agency was on March 3 (career choice test). March 23 2nd appointment and April 14 3rd appointment. Until when am I obliged to cooperate with this? Returning to own work was\/is always the end goal and I have been doing that since February.\n \nKind regards\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Normally, the 1st track must be properly completed before the 2nd track can begin. The duration of a 2nd track reintegration process can vary per situation and depends on the size, complexity and problems of the employee. The duration of a 2nd track reintegration process is at least six months and the maximum duration is one year. But my question is, why was a 2nd track started? The 2nd track only starts when an employee is incapacitated for work for a long period of time and there is no suitable work available within the employer's company. but you are already working at full capacity in your own job?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e \nHello. After a failure in August 2015, I slowly started working again in October. Workplace investigation came in March 2016 (was already advised in 2013, but the employer did not comply with this despite a request from me and the audiological center). Due to adjustment of the workplace (hearing aids), which took a long time and only worked optimally in December 2016. The occupational expert advised, in connection with the law on improving the gatekeeper, track 1 parallel to track 2 due to uncertainty about sustainable employability (which was not based on anything, by the way). I have always worked in my own job, but I was not allowed to go to 40 hours as long as the aids were not yet available. The reason for the 2nd track was only to at least comply with the legal obligation, as stated in the report. So from February 100% employed in my own job and, as indicated above, reported sick for 10% until April 30 to assess the sustainable nature.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThe first track absence management is part of the reintegration file and can indeed be used simultaneously with a second track. But you simply went back to work in your own job, so I don't really see the point of it. Of course, there may be uncertainty, but given the hours you worked again in November, that uncertainty could be removed in my opinion. It is not mandatory to use a second track if it appears that there are sufficient possibilities within the first track, such as adjusting the workplace, number of hours, etc. In week 93 to week 104, the UWV will assess whether your employer has made sufficient efforts. If this is not the case, the UWV can extend the obligation to continue paying wages. Initially, the reintegration process will therefore last 2 years. Since you are back to 40 hours, the reintegration process can now at least be concluded, which is even possible without a plan of action, now that you are working full hours again. Since you still have a meeting on April 13, you can also indicate that. Perhaps this conversation is also meant as a final conversation (evaluation?). You can ask your employer what the gist of the conversation on April 13, 2017 is. \n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55005940351325,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-54851-hallo-vraag-over-reintegratie-verplichtingen-2e-spoor-augustus-2015-ziek-geworden-langzaam-weer-b","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
