Employer of Record FAQs in Belgium
What is an Employer of Record in Belgium?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Belgium is a third-party organization that becomes the legal employer of your Belgian workforce. The EOR handles all employment responsibilities including contracts, payroll, social security contributions to ONSS/RSZ, tax withholding, and compliance with Belgian federal and regional labor laws, while you retain full operational control over employee work.
How quickly can I hire employees in Belgium through Asanify's EOR?
You can onboard employees in Belgium within 3-5 business days after candidate selection. Asanify prepares compliant employment contracts in the appropriate language (Dutch, French, or German), registers employees with social security (ONSS/RSZ) and DIMONA, and handles all administrative formalities for rapid deployment.
Do I need to establish a company in Belgium to hire employees?
No, you do not need to establish a legal entity in Belgium when using Asanify’s EOR services. We act as the legal employer, eliminating the need for company registration, obtaining a Belgian enterprise number, or navigating complex incorporation procedures, while still enabling you to build and manage your Belgian team.
What social security contributions does Asanify handle in Belgium?
Asanify manages all Belgian social security contributions including employer contributions (approximately 35% of gross salary) and employee contributions (approximately 13.07% of gross salary) to ONSS/RSZ. These contributions cover health insurance, pensions, unemployment insurance, family allowances, and occupational accidents. We also handle special social security contributions and file quarterly declarations.
What are the mandatory employee benefits in Belgium?
Belgian employees are entitled to comprehensive statutory benefits including 13th month salary (double holiday pay), meal vouchers (typically €6-8 per working day), minimum 20 days paid annual leave (plus public holidays), extensive sick leave coverage, maternity/paternity leave, eco-vouchers, and enrollment in social security health and pension systems. Asanify ensures full compliance with all benefit requirements.
How does payroll work in Belgium through an EOR?
Payroll in Belgium is processed monthly, typically around the end of each month. Asanify calculates gross salaries, applies personal income tax withholding (based on progressive tax brackets), deducts employee social security contributions, processes benefits (meal vouchers, etc.), and disburses net payments. We generate detailed payslips and submit all required declarations to ONSS/RSZ and Belgian tax authorities.
What are the notice period requirements in Belgium?
Notice periods in Belgium depend on employee tenure and are calculated according to legal formulas. For employees, notice ranges from 1-2 weeks for short tenure to several months for long tenure. For employers terminating contracts, notice periods are typically longer, ranging from several weeks to over a year for senior employees with long service. Asanify calculates accurate notice periods and manages compliant termination processes.
What is a joint committee (paritair comité/commission paritaire) in Belgium?
A joint committee (PC) is a sectoral body that establishes specific labor conditions for Belgian industries. Most employees fall under PC 200 (white-collar) or PC 100 (blue-collar), though many specialized sectors have their own committees. These committees determine minimum wages, working conditions, and benefits through collective agreements (CAO/CCT). Asanify determines the applicable PC and ensures compliance with its regulations.
Can I terminate an employee in Belgium, and what are the costs?
Termination in Belgium requires either mutual agreement, serious cause, or notice (with legal notice periods or payment in lieu). Costs include notice period compensation, pro-rata 13th month payment, accrued unused leave, and potential outplacement services for certain dismissals. Belgium has strong worker protections, and improper termination can result in significant damages. Asanify manages compliant termination processes to minimize legal risks.
