that late AObDistrict driver Anita Duchateau know. She negotiated the plan on behalf of the union.
No teaching task
In total, the formation will go back from 450 full-time jobs in 2020 to 366 FTE in 2023 the summer It was not yet clear exactly how many full-time jobs would disappear per job category. It was already established that this does not concern support staff who have an educational task, but mainly employees who do the intakes, telephone operators, policy officers, staff members and staff at the student administration.
38 full-time jobs
The social plan now shows exactly how many jobs will disappear per job category. For example, employees of the secretariat and administration have about 8 full-time jobs. For employees who think about education and innovation, 3,5 jobs must be removed. AObDistrict manager Duchateau: “If no one makes use of the schemes of the social plan, 38 full-time jobs will be forced to disappear.”
We have agreed on a good departure arrangement. Employees who make quick decisions receive twice the transition payment
I encourage
It doesn't have to go that far, Duchateau thinks. Much is already being solved by employees retiring or by temporary contracts that are expiring. In view of the age structure of the employees and the individual questions she receives, her idea is also that there is enthusiasm for the first phase of the social plan: voluntary departure. “We have agreed a good departure arrangement. Employees who decide quickly will receive twice the transition payment. If you've been working at Curio for quite a few years, that's going to add up. Here it is first come, first served.”
Work-to-work guidance, further training, secondment, job application leave or early retirement are other schemes that employees can make use of. Now the voluntary part of the social plan comes into effect first. If not enough people respond, the forced phase will start from March 1, 2022.
At the end of March, Curio announced that it wanted to implement a reorganization. Curio wants to focus even more on education, which is why support is being made more effective and efficient press release.
