loonvervangende

Loonvervangende is a Dutch adjective that describes something designed to replace wages or income. The related noun forms include loonvervangende uitkering or loonvervanging, referring to payments or benefits that substitute for part or all of a person’s earnings. The term is commonly used in policy, legal, and human resources contexts.

In social security and labor law, loonvervangende uitkeringen are benefits intended to provide financial support when an individual cannot earn their regular salary due to illness, disability, or other work-disabled situations. They are meant to maintain income stability while encouraging a return to work, and they are typically calculated as a percentage of prior earnings. Eligibility and the amount of the benefit are usually subject to conditions such as contribution history, medical assessments, or work capacity evaluations, and benefits may be coordinated with other income sources.

The phrase also appears in employer documents and contracts, where it may describe private or supplementary income protection arrangements that replace wages during approved absences or disability leave. In everyday language, loonvervangende provisions are contrasted with actual wages, highlighting the temporary substitution of income rather than continued salary payments.

Translations to English include “wage-replacing” or “income replacement.” While the specifics vary by country and program, the core concept is consistent: a mechanism designed to cushion individuals financially when they cannot work and earn a regular salary.
