It is important to carefully consider your rights in these types of matters. In most cases, the first year entitlement is 70 to 100% of the salary. The second year it is 70%. Usually the employer is insured for such cases. The employer must pay these costs for the first two years. If there is still illness, you will end up in the WIA or IVA. It is therefore not always beneficial to retire early, for example. No more pension will be built up and in this way there will be less pension left. Your husband cannot be forced to retire early. What kind of contract does your husband have? Please feel free to contact me via my profile if you have any questions or require legal assistance.
