If employees are continuously or repeatedly ill for more than six weeks within a year, a company integration management ("bEM") should be carried out on the initiative of employers. As part of this process, the aim is to work with the employee to find ways of overcoming the incapacity to work as far as possible, and to identify benefits or assistance that can be used to prevent a recurrence of the incapacity to work and to preserve the employee's job.
