Exploring entity setup in Belgium for hiring? Think again.
It’s time-intensive, costly, and layered with strict labor laws.
Why figure out compliance on your own?
Employment contracts, background checks, work permits, and payroll must all be in line with Belgium’s complex local laws and collective agreements.
Payroll would mean more than just payouts
It involves calculating and deducting withholding tax at progressive rates, managing employer social security contributions, and employee contributions.
No need to set up a legal entity
With us, we can onboard employees or contractors legally with minimal delays and risk, and help get your global team off the ground effortlessly and at speed on your behalf.
3–5 days onboarding with employment contract, payroll, and tax setup ready to go.
Employment contracts
We support permanent and fixed-term contracts that comply with Belgian labor laws and relevant collective agreements. We can also assist in drafting multilingual agreements, commonly in Dutch, French, German, or English, to match the employee’s work location, role, and legal requirements. Belgium also has some of the strictest union requirements in the region. Making sure that works councils are adopted and maintained in accordance with the law is a legal requirement and not one to get wrong.
Background checks
We can conduct legally compliant background checks in Belgium, covering identity verification, education and qualification validation, previous employment history, and criminal records where permissible.
Equipment provisioning
We make employee onboarding effortless by managing all equipment provisioning where possible.
The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Public health insurance
Belgium provides a public health insurance scheme for all employees, funded through social security contributions. This is a mandatory payment in all cases. Coverage includes medical care, hospitalization, and prescriptions.
Pension contributions
Pensions can be split into three categories: the state pension, which is paid by the employer; the personal pension, which is set up by the employer in a specific sector, and or the employee’s private pension, which is the responsibility of the employee and is an optional product.
Holiday pay
Employees working a full calendar year are entitled to four weeks, or 20 days (for a five-day working week) of paid annual leave the following year. Different accrual principles apply to employees starting partway through the year, with holiday pay calculated based on sector rules, along with additional legal requirements.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Employment Laws
Belgium’s labor laws cover working hours of an average of 8 hours per day (on average 38 – 40 hours per week), overtime limits, paid leave, sick leave, and statutory benefits. Rules vary by sector and may be influenced by collective bargaining agreements. The working time regulations in Belgium are very strict and should be understood in all cases to ensure compliance.
Worker classification & employment contract
Belgium favors full-time employment over contract work, and misclassification can lead to legal and financial penalties. A written employment contract must include role, salary, hours, benefits, and termination terms.
Audit-ready documentation
Accurate, timely employment and payroll records are required for inspections. Employers must maintain employment contracts, payslips, leave records, and tax filings in line with legal retention periods.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Sick leaves
White-collar employees receive full salary for the first 30 days of illness, after which public health insurance provides benefits. Sick leave to care for family members is also allowed.
Maternity & paternity leaves
Eligible mothers can take six weeks before birth and nine weeks after, with the entitlement being 15 weeks. Fathers receive paid paternity leave of 25 days. Adoption leave of six weeks with an additional six weeks is also available for parents to share between themselves once a child is placed in their care.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly
Notice periods
Notice depends on the role and seniority of the employee. The range of notice will range from one week for those with less than three months service, increasing to twenty-six weeks for those with twenty-one years service and above.
Severance & final payouts
Severance often includes multiple months of salary based on the seniority and tenure of the employee and can therefore vary. Final payments must include accrued salary, including variable compensation, unused leave, and any sector-specific benefits.
