Liability of general contractor to subcontractor
Belgian companies with foreign postings are since the new guidelines of August 2020 responsible For complying with Belgian law by their foreign subcontractors. And you better take this seriously as a company because at non-compliance threatens criminal prosecution.
From subcontracting to temporary employment
Therefore, it is often safer To the foreign teams switching to Belgian temporary employment. In this way, the foreign employees immediately employed under the Belgian law.
From experience, we know that the transition to temporary employment often complex is. Until then, foreign workers received an amount per week or month in their country of origin, without more details. From the switch to temporary employment, there is gross and net pay, social charges, legal leave, different working conditions, and so on. Then it very important that your foreign workers well informed be. Moreover, these employees are now suddenly managed directly by the Belgian company and no longer by the subcontractor.
