The employer is not obliged to reimburse the cost of virological tests to employees

As of 15 October 2021, virological tests are no longer systematically reimbursed. The "Questions and Answers" of the Ministry of Labour now specifies that the cost of virological tests does not constitute professional expenses.

 

The employer will therefore not be obliged to reimburse these costs to employees who request it.

 

It should be noted that this solution applies to all companies, even those whose activity requires their employees to have a “COVID Pass”, either on a permanent or occasional basis.

 

The administration thus provides a clear answer to a question that many employers have been asking themselves since this summer.
