POSTING OF WORKERS TO BELGIUM

A “posted worker” is an employee who is sent by his employer to carry out a service in another EU Member State on a temporary basis, in the context of a contract of services, an intra-group posting or a hiring out through a temporary agency.
The EU defines a set of mandatory rules regarding the terms and conditions of employment to be applied to posted workers. These rules establish that, even though workers posted to another Member State are still employed by the sending company and subject to the law of that Member State, they are entitled to a set of core rights in force in the host Member State.

If you want to know what set of terms and conditions of employment of Belgium are we can help.
This set of rights consists of:

- minimum rates of pay – changed in revised Directive to ALL mandatory elements of remuneration;
- maximum work periods and minimum rest periods;
- minimum paid annual leave;
- the conditions of hiring out workers through temporary work agencies;
- health, safety and hygiene at work;
- equal treatment between men and women
- rules concerning accommodation and allowances
- for long-term postings application of an extended set of terms and conditions of employment of the receiving Member State
