To work in Luxembourg, you will need to present your vaccination pass
From this Saturday, January 15, the Covidcheck, the equivalent of our health pass, will be compulsory to work in companies in the Grand Duchy. A turn of the screw imposed by the Luxembourg government to stem the Covid-19 epidemic. The law was passed by the Luxembourg parliament on December 16.
“For the moment, we have no idea of the number of employees who will refuse to be vaccinated or tested, we should see more clearly next week.“, explains Christian Simon-Lacroix, head of cross-border workers at the OGBL union.
The OGBL”endeavored to prevent employees from being in situations of extreme precariousness. For example, the CovidCheck cannot be a reason for dismissal, nor lead to an interruption of affiliation to Social Security.“, specifies Christian Simon-Lacroix. In concrete terms, employees who refuse to be vaccinated or tested having to take leave, even unpaid leave, or telework if they can.
French railwaymen escape the obligation
Otherwise, to enter the site of your company, it will be necessary”present either a vaccination certificate, or a cure certificate valid between the 11th and 180th day after the positive PCR test, or a negative test certificate, valid for 48 hours for a PCR and 24 hours for an antigen, or a certificate of counter- indication for vaccination against Covid 19“, summarizes Christian Simon-Lacroix.
Last clarification: French railway workers who work on the Metz-Luxembourg line are not affected by the CovidCheck at work: “Luxembourg law cannot apply to an offshore company“.
