Document background
The Employee Employment Agreement is a crucial document used to establish and govern employment relationships in Belgium. It serves as the primary contract between employers and employees, ensuring compliance with Belgian employment law, including the Employment Contracts Act of 1978, collective bargaining agreements, and EU regulations. This document is essential for any new hire or employment relationship modification in Belgium, providing clear terms regarding position, compensation, working conditions, and mutual obligations. The agreement must reflect specific Belgian legal requirements such as mandatory notice periods, annual leave provisions, and salary indexation, while also incorporating modern workplace elements like GDPR compliance and flexible working arrangements where applicable. It forms the foundation of the employment relationship and serves as a reference point for both parties throughout the duration of employment.
