Payroll
When employing staff in Belgium employers must comply with various obligations and regulations, making it advisable to seek assistance from an experienced professional service provider to help navigate through the complex requirements.
Policies
It is always advisable to establish the rules within a company in writing. A policy is the right document for this. In a policy, the company can lay down the rules with regard to a certain subject so that there can be no discussions about it. This promotes the proper functioning of the company and also ensures a clear personnel policy so that any frictions can be avoided.
Some examples where we recommend to draft a policy:
In case an employee receives a company car as part of the salary package, we recommend to draft a company car policy.
A company car policy is a document that aims to clarify the conditions and restrictions of the use of the vehicle made available and the rights and obligations of each party.
On the basis of such a policy, discussions about making company cars available to employees can be avoided in advance as much as possible, for example with regard to interventions in the damage costs and any deductions from wages.
Also in case a smartphone or IT equipment is made available to the employees, we recommend to draft a policy. In this context it is recommended to make clear agreements about the use of the smartphone and the IT equipment. In this way you avoid unpleasant surprises and, if necessary, high costs.
In some cases it is not only recommended, but also necessary to have a policy. For example, the employer is not allowed to monitor the employee's email and internet use without a written record of the monitoring rules. The regulations even determine what must be laid down in the policy.

Social due diligence
In the event of a merger or acquisition, it is important to know how future turnover and costs will develop. A thorough employment law audit is in those cases required. It is therefore important to know whether there are (long-term) sick employees, expensive employment conditions, 'complex' employees and 'invisible' employment relationships, for example due to parental leave.
