When someone enters the WGA after 104 weeks of illness, the employer is responsible for the employee for 10 years. Even if this employee left employment during absenteeism. For this, the employer can be self-insured or publicly insured (with the UWV). For both, it is important to regularly check the WGA files. It may be that the employee has more or less possibilities to work. Or that it is no longer clear how the taxability of an employee is.
If the employer is self-insured for the WGA, the case manager will supervise, build and monitor the file, allowing a reassessment to be requested from the UWV at the right time. For employers in the public system, we recommend requesting the reassessments when there is no longer clarity on taxability or the appropriate benefit. It is then advisable to request a reassessment as soon as the case lists from the work resumption fund are available. After a reassessment, Resolu will provide advice on what the next step in the process could be. In this way, you can prevent unjustified wage costs and any WGA premiums being paid. A WGA reassessment enables you to keep a grip on your WGA expenses.
