This system is already working in the civil service and former employment minister Nicolas Schmit has now launched the initiative to introduce this system in the private sector.
Before filing the draft bill last June, a number of discussions were had with social partners and those people, especially employers, who remain more than a bit skeptical of this initiative.
The principle is simple, in the future, employees in the private sector, should have the same right as those in civil service roles and be able to "save" working hours.
With this "savings account", employees would be able to "pay in" overtime, as well as annual leave, in order to retrieve it at a later, more useful, date.
The system would be able to 'save/log' a maximum of 1,800 hours. Participation in the scheme would be on a voluntary basis for the employees and there would be no obligation to use the system.
On Tuesday afternoon, MPs are going to vote on the draft bill and the discussions will be lead by LSAP MP, Yves Cruchten.
At the start of this afternoon's meeting, there will be an homage to the late former MP, Benny Berg.
Also on the agenda are a round of questions to the parliament, and based on a request by CSV, MPs will look into how much accommodation has entered the market as a result of the Fonds du Logement since the reform of the public institution.
