19 Change of legislation on disability in the Netherlands From compensation to participation 19

20 1990: Ruud Lubbers, minister president: the Netherlands are sick Sick leave : > 8% > 900,000 persons on a disability pension

21 Sickness Benefits Act Continued wage payment by employer * 1996: 6 weeks for large enterprises and 3 weeks for small ones * 1998: 52 weeks * 2004: 104 weeks Benefit at least 70% of salary Incentive for employers and employees to combat sick leave 21

22 Sickness Benefits Act as Safety Net * Employees who lost their job during continued wage payment * Temporary workers working for employment agencies Employees whose employer goes bankrupt * Unemployed workers * Sickness during first 5 years of employees hired while on disability benefit Administration by UWV 22

23 Improved Gatekeeper s Act * Act to increase pressure on employer and employee, Act of April 1st 2002 * Offering proof to UWV that sufficient rehabilitation activities have taken place * Obligation to report progress to UWV If not, long-term benefit will be denied * Prolonged period of continued wage payment, up to one year max 23

24 Effect/Effekt New legislation: more effort by employers and employees, supported by occupational physicians, led to a considerable lowering of the number of disabled workers Ny lagstiftning: mer ansträngning av arbetsgivare och arbetstagare, med stöd av företagsläkare, lett till en avsevärd sänkning av antalet arbetstagare med funktionshinder

25 Results: strong decrease inflow Inflow long term disability benefits * WAO WIA Total % Risk 1.55% 1.34% 0.95% 0.85% 0.29% 0.46% 0.50% 0.47% 2005: because of the extension of the waiting period before a disability pension can be awarded, no new applications during this year 25

26 Characteristics of long term disability in the Netherlands No separate insurance for accidents and occupational disease Partial disability is also covered Earning capacity in stead of working capacity No reference period Most comprehensive dismissal
