Since the beginning of April 2020, the Ministry of Labour has promoted, as an additional tool to deal with the crisis linked to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the temporary provision of employees between two companies.
Under the scheme, if a company involved in activities essential to the state is faced with a lack of personnel, it can resort to an agreement of provision with a company whose employees are unoccupied and agree to be made available on a voluntary basis.
The ministry has slightly simplified the conditions of the provision agreement in order to make the scheme more accessible.
