Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of accident leave?

The purpose of accident leave is to ensure proper work injury compensation, allowing employees adequate time for recovery and medical treatment following work-related injuries without experiencing financial hardship or job insecurity.

How is accident leave financed?

The financing follows a two-stage process in Luxembourg. Initially, your employer continues paying your full salary during the first month of absence. After this initial period, the Accident Insurance Association (Association d'Assurance Accident, AAA) assumes responsibility for compensation payments, ensuring continuous financial support throughout your recovery period.
