Legal obligations

Every hire of a temporary worker under Belgian labour law requires a correct Dimona declaration, a fixed-term employment contract and registration of social security contributions. In addition, every employer must take out occupational accident insurance and comply with the work rules.

For workers from abroad, there are extra steps, such as checking work permits or residence documents. Thanks to Recruit's built-in rules, this runs efficiently, error-free and fully compliant with Belgian regulations.

Accurate administration

Accurate record-keeping is the foundation of transparent, efficient payroll. Store all contracts and documents online, log hours carefully and draw a clear line between blue-collar and white-collar workers. That way, you guarantee a correct salary and avoid errors in calculations or absence records.

With modern payroll solutions like Recruit, you can automate contracts, apply premiums correctly and use software that's always up to date with the law. So you get people working effortlessly, without the added workload.
