The law dated 12 April 2019 implementing a legal framework for the implementation of a time savings account (TSA) has been published in the Memorial on 24 April (the Law).

A TSA allows employees to capitalise hours worked on top of ordinary working time.

The implementation of a TSA is only possible if foreseen by a collective bargaining agreement or a national or sectorial inter-professional agreement. The Law provides that for companies in which the collective bargaining agreement has been concluded before the entry into force of the Law and provides for a TSA, the concerned rules remain applicable during the whole period of validity of the relevant collective bargaining agreement.
