The contract is suitable for indefinite-term employment relationships and incorporates all mandatory provisions required by Belgian labor law, including the Employment Contracts Act of 1978 and relevant collective bargaining agreements. It should be used when hiring new employees or formalizing existing employment relationships in Belgium, and must be provided to employees in the legally required language based on the region of employment (Dutch, French, or German). The document includes essential provisions regarding working conditions, remuneration, benefits, and termination terms, while also addressing specific Belgian requirements such as mandatory social security provisions and annual holiday entitlements.
