Automated Check-in-at-Work: How Belgian Construction Companies Save Time and Money

The Belgian construction sector continues to struggle with the administrative burden of the Check-in-at-Work regulation. With 13 million workers in the European construction industry, Belgium plays a central role in the fight against social fraud. Since March 2016, this mandatory attendance registration has been required for all construction projects starting from €500,000 (excluding VAT) – a reduction from the previous threshold of €800,000.

Why Your Business Can’t Afford to Ignore Check-in-at-Work

The numbers speak for themselves: fines can reach up to €6,000 per worker. Recent research by the Social Intelligence and Investigation Service (SIOD) confirms that social fraud remains a persistent issue in the construction sector. In April 2025, a large-scale operation in Belgium led to 20 house searches and the seizure of millions of euros.

Important update: As of September 1, 2024, the Check-in-at-Work regulation will also apply to the cleaning sector, further emphasizing the importance of automated solutions.
