Traduction de «Indemnité temporaire d'accident du travail » (Français → Anglais) :

However, too often, temporary contracts are just a cheaper alternative to permanent ones, particularly in countries where the gap in dismissal regulations between these contracts is high (i.e. severance pay, notice periods, possibility to appeal to courts): then the result is a segmented labour market , where many young workers experience a sequence of temporary jobs alternating with unemployment, with little chance of moving to a more stable, open-ended contract and incomplete contributions to pension provisions.

Following the comprehensive social partners’ agreement, the Netherlands is in the process of implementing the simplification of dismissal procedures, capping the amount of severance pay with a linkage to seniority rather than age, while tightening rules on temporary work to prevent labour market segmentation and reforming the unemployment benefit system.

whereas domestic workers and carers who are excluded from labour laws cannot be guaranteed a safe and healthy work environment, and face significant discrimination regarding the level of rights and protection that applies to them if compared to a country’s general standards; whereas, moreover, they have no right to participate in trade unions or in collective bargaining by other means, or are unaware of or experience difficulties in how to do so, which makes them particularly vulnerable, especially because of limited social security coverage (particularly unemployment benefits, sickness and accident pay, as well as maternity leave, pare ...[+++]ntal leave and other forms of care leave), and their frequent exclusion from dismissal protection.

Research estimates that workplace stress is responsible for 19% of absenteeism, 40% of turnover, 30% of short-term and long-term disability costs, 60% of the total cost of workplace accidents, and 21% of all workers' compensation paid, or about $1 billion annually, which is an estimate on our part.

The reality is that because pensionable income is not now defined to include workers' compensation benefits, we have the situation where workers, first, suffer the penalty of being injured or diseased in the workplace, then second, find themselves unable to have their workers' compensation benefits deemed to be pensionable so that there is the double injury, and then third, when they reach the retirement years, find their pensions are actually lower than they would otherwise have been (1410) That clearly does not meet the intentions of the Canada pension plan, nor is it simple justice.

4. However, a SNE who is the victim of a work-related injury which occurs during the secondment shall continue to receive, in full, the allowances provided for in Article 15(1) and (2) throughout the period during which he is unfit for work up to the end of the period of secondment.
