Dear colleagues’s,

RVA has tightened the rules around career break this year.

We as employers need more information before an application can be submitted to RVA.  

From now on (20/10/2023) anyone wishing to apply for career breaks (parental leave, time credit,…), will first and foremost be asked to submit the application ‘in writing’ to the employer.

We suggest the following document for this purpose.

We provide the following document for this purpose (see back cover).

In addition, you should also attach the certificate from Break@work, to show that there is still entitlement to career break.

When we receive both documents, we can review your application & prepare the application on the employers' side at the RVA.
