An employee must have worked at least 4/5 of the time for one or more other employers during the third quarter preceding the quarter in which the flexi-job begins.

What counts toward the 4/5 employment requirement:

• periods of illness

• work-related accidents

• maternity leave

• temporary unemployment while under contract

What does not count toward the 4/5 employment requirement:

• flexi-job work

• seasonal work

• parental leave

• student work

As flexi employees, they may perform all job functions.

• Employee who has reached the statutory retirement age?
  May start working immediately.

• Employee retiring soon?
  May start working immediately on the retirement date if they have been employed at least 4/5 of the time up to that date. Otherwise, they must wait one quarter.

How much can the employee earn on the side?

• Employee aged 66 or with a 45-year career?
  May earn an unlimited amount on the side.

• Employee younger than 66?
  The income limits depend on the individual’s personal situation. If these limits are exceeded, the pension will be reduced.

Temporary workers can now also work as “flexi” employees for one client and as regular temporary workers (laborers/clerks) for another client.

Since 2018, teachers with permanent or temporary appointments have been allowed to work a flexi-job year-round. Self-employed individuals with a secondary occupation may take advantage of the flexi-job status provided they worked at least four-fifths of the time three quarters ago, while regular self-employed individuals are not eligible to work as flexi-jobbers.
