E. Civil servantsThe civil servant scheme with regard to accidents at work is based on other legislation as forsalaried persons, but it does show many similarities.This scheme also makes the same distinction between a period of temporary incapacity forwork and a period of permanent incapacity for work. The period of temporary incapacity for workis not limited in time and has no influence on the days of sickness leave. During this period, thecivil servant receives his full salary. After the 'consolidation', he enters the period of permanentincapacity for work. From that moment onwards, the civil servant is entitled to an annuity. Ifpossible, the civil servant has to be assigned to another job. If he needs the help of a thirdperson, the annuity can be raised with a supplementary allowance calculated on the basis of theguaranteed monthly allowance or the guaranteed average minimum monthly salary, dependingon the salary system applicable to the victim.The starting point for the calculation of the annuity is the victim's wage scale at the moment ofthe accident.In case of a mortal accident at work, the person who has paid the funeral shall receive a funeralallowance equal to the last gross monthly salary of the deceased civil servant. Analogically tothe private sector, the surviving spouse or cohabitant and the children are also entitled to anallowance.Allowances for aggravation and decease can also be granted.F. Self-employed personsSelf-employed persons are not insured for accidents at work, but they can always fall back on thesickness and invalidity insurance from the self-employed persons' scheme.57
