1.7 million Belgians can consult their holiday pay for the first time via Doccle

Holiday pay

For the first time, Belgian workers and artists can check how much holiday pay they are entitled to in 2019 via their Doccle account. In total, the government sends almost 4 million of these documents every year to 1.7 million Belgians. Doccle also wants to give its users access to their career data via MyPension and the Student@Work certificate for job students. “It is only logical that in 2019 citizens can manage their administration in one central location,” says Doccle CEO Bram Lerouge.

In 2019, the national office for annual holidays (RJV) will send a total of 3.8 million of these documents to around 1.7 million Belgian workers and artists via the eBox. From this year on, the document will also be available for the first time via Doccle, the largest digital administration platform in Belgium. Citizens who link their eBox – the ‘digital mailbox’ of the government – to their Doccle account, can receive the holiday pay form directly on this platform.

However, it is striking that the potential of the eBox remains largely untapped. So far, only 63,000 of the more than 1.5 million Doccle users have linked their account on this platform to their personal eBox. The fact that much government administration still finds its way to the citizen in paper form is completely obsolete according to Doccle. Sending government documents by post is not only slow, it can never be excluded that a letter does not reach the right person (in time). The collaboration between Doccle and the eBox must ensure that more and more citizens and governments take the step to digital administration.

“We encourage all citizens touse their eBox and link it to their Doccle account,” says Doccle CEO Bram Lerouge. “That you can gain insight into your holiday pay faster than ever in this way is just one of the many benefits. The government will keep increasing the number of documents available via eBox in the future. “

It is only logical that in 2019 citizens can manage their administration in one central location.

8 million

In the long term, Doccle also wants to make it possible for citizens to receive and keep a lot of other government documents via their Doccle account. This includes information about career data via MyPension (more than 8 million documents on an annual basis), the Student@Work certificate for job students (1 million documents per year), and the tax form for career guidance (almost 2 million documents per year).

The digitization of the Belgian government administration is taking major steps thanks to the close cooperation between Doccle and eBox. For example, it was recently announced that more than 260 Belgian municipalities allow their officials to digitally sign deeds thanks to technology from Doccle. The platform also encourages all Belgian government administrations – be it national, regional or local – to continuously look for new ways to simplify their administration and that of the citizen.

“Het is niet meer dan logisch dat burgers anno 2019 hun administratie op één centrale plek kunnen beheren, of het nu om een attest vakantiegeld of een waterfactuur gaat”, concludeert Bram Lerouge. “Met Doccle zijn we ervan overtuigd dat een papieren administratie totaal achterhaald is: het is trager, veroorzaakt een papiermolen bij overheden en bedrijven, en belandt bij de burger toch maar op een stapel of raakt zoek. Het is daarom positief om te zien dat ook de eBox blijft uitbreiden. Een digitale overheid is een efficiënte overheid.”

“It is only logical that in the year 2019 citizens can manage their administration in one central location, whether it concerns a holiday pay certificate or a water invoice,” concludes Bram Lerouge. “At Doccle, we are convinced that a paper administration is totally outdated: it is slower, causes a paper mill at governments and companies, and ends up in a pile or gets lost in people’s homes. It is therefore positive to see that the eBox also continues to expand. A digital government is an efficient government. “
