🎯 Purpose of the Article
Clarify the legal and insurance framework applicable when an employee carries out an initiative through the Komeet platform:
Liability
Insurance
Working time calculation
Expense coverage
🧭 Case 1: Engagement During Working Hours
⏱️ Working Time and Employee Benefits
Time spent on the initiative is considered effective working time.
It is therefore included in:
Overtime calculations
Maximum working time limits
Employee benefits remain unchanged:
Meal vouchers
Health insurance
Corporate coverage
Etc.
🛡 Liability and Insurance
The nonprofit supervises and manages the initiative and is responsible for the work carried out.
The employee is insured by their employer during the initiative.
Any accident occurring during working hours is considered a workplace accident and must be declared according to the company’s internal procedures.
The employee is covered by the company’s civil liability insurance, provided that their responsibility or the company’s responsibility is engaged.
💰 Expense Coverage
Expenses related to the initiative (transport, accommodation…) are covered:
either by the nonprofit,
or by the employee,
according to prior agreement.
🧭 Case 2: Engagement During Personal Time
⏱️ Working Time
Time spent on the initiative is considered personal time.
It has no impact on:
Working hours
Time counters
🛡 Liability and Insurance
The employee acts freely, without subordination to their employer.
They are covered by their personal civil liability insurance.
Any accident occurring in this context falls under standard volunteer regulations and must be declared according to the nonprofit’s procedures.
💰 Expense Coverage
Expenses related to the initiative (transport, accommodation…) are covered:
either by the nonprofit,
or by the volunteer,
according to prior agreement.
💡 Key Takeaway
The determining factor is the engagement time:
During working hours → employment framework + company insurance
Outside working hours → volunteer framework + personal civil liability
