Document background
The Short Employment Contract is specifically designed for temporary or fixed-term employment relationships in Belgium. It serves as a legally compliant document that establishes clear terms of employment while adhering to Belgian labor law requirements, including the Employment Contracts Act of 1978 and relevant collective bargaining agreements. This document is particularly useful for project-based work, seasonal employment, temporary replacements, or specific short-term business needs. It includes all mandatory provisions required by Belgian law while maintaining a concise format, making it ideal for situations where a full-length employment contract might be unnecessarily complex. The contract ensures both employer and employee rights are protected while providing flexibility for shorter-term employment arrangements.
