Method

What we check, not what we are told

01

The company that signs

Legal form, Belgian enterprise number where one exists, and whether the employer is the provider or a partner.

02

The Article 31 route

Licensed agency, written instruction agreement or recognised exception. One clear answer, or no shortlist.

03

Joint committee and indexation

Which committee applies, how scales and the year-end premium are handled, how indexation reaches your invoice.

04

The real price

Published rate or quote, deposit, minimum term, and the loaded cost at roughly 1.5 times gross.

Common questions

Four things people ask first

Is an EOR legal in Belgium?
It can be, when properly structured, and it is unlawful when it is not. Article 31 of the Act of 24 July 1987 prohibits placing employees at a third party’s disposal where that party exercises part of employer authority. Lawful routes exist: licensed temporary agency work, employment with a written instruction agreement between user and employer, or a recognised exception. Full explanation →
What is the minimum wage in Belgium?
The national guaranteed average minimum monthly income is €2,233.61 per month for a full-time employee aged 18 or over, in force since 1 August 2026. Your actual obligation is the higher of that and your joint committee’s scale, and in most sectors the committee scale is higher. More on minimum wage →
What does a Belgian employee really cost?
As a working figure, around 1.5 times gross salary before any provider fee. That reflects roughly 27 per cent employer social security, statutory double holiday pay at 92 per cent of a month’s gross, a year-end premium in most sectors, and meal vouchers. A company car adds materially more.
EOR, interim agency, or register with the NSSO ourselves?
Interim agencies for genuinely temporary work, on permitted grounds. An EOR for a small number of hires where speed matters and the provider can evidence its Article 31 structure. Direct NSSO registration, which a foreign company can do without incorporating, if you intend to build headcount, since it removes the Article 31 question entirely. More on the three routes →

The headline fee is not the real cost

Employer social security around 27 %, double holiday pay, a year-end premium in most sectors and automatic indexation: read the guide before you negotiate.
