Social Security Fund for the woodworking and furniture industry
The Social Security Fund for the woodworking and furniture industry is located at Fedustria’s headquarters in Anderlecht. This Fund grants the workers in the sector various additional social advantages. The most important advantage is the fidelity allowance, which is yearly paid in December. The Fund also grants advantages in case of incapacity for work (extra allowance in case of long term incapacity for work and to the victims of industrial accident, disabled), in case of loss unemployment (supplementary allowance in the event of temporary unemployment) or after the end of a career (Woodlife sectoral supplementary pension). Finally, the Fund also contributes to the company supplement paid by the employer under the RCC.
