Since 1 July 2026, flexi-jobs are open to almost all private and public sectors in Belgium, a major change from the old list of roughly twelve named sectors. That is the headline, but it is not the whole story. Sectors can request a full or partial exclusion, and during a

Is time registration (tijdsregistratie, prikklok) mandatory from 2027? The planned law is still a draft. See what it requires, what CIAO adds on 1 April 2027 and how to prepare.

Belgian transport companies invest heavily in tachograph compliance. The digital tacho records driving time, speed, rest periods, and activity modes, and transport managers know their download intervals and infringement rules well.

Employee time tracking is not surveillance, but plenty of workers see it that way, and that perception, not the technology, is the real hurdle when you roll it out. The fix is a reframe: treat time tracking as a heartbeat monitor for workload and wellbeing, not a punch clock to

Since 1 July 2026, the Belgian flexi-job system has changed in two ways that matter to almost every employer. First, flexi-jobs are no longer limited to a short list of sectors: they are now open across almost all private and public sectors, with sectors able to opt out on a

Private security companies in Belgium operate under conditions that make time registration both essential and complex: 24-hour coverage requirements, shift handovers between outgoing and incoming guards, mobile patrol routes covering multiple locations, and a sector-specific collective agreement (PC 317) that has its own working time and supplement rules. Here is

Most Belgian employers that have invested in field time registration, mobile apps, site terminals, GPS clock-in, still face a manual step at the end of the week: someone exports a spreadsheet from the time registration system, reformats it, and re-enters the hours into SD Worx. This manual bridge is where

Time registration in Belgium is both a legal obligation and a potential GDPR minefield. You must track working time accurately to meet NSSO obligations, yet every clock-in method, from a mobile app to a fingerprint reader, processes personal data. Here is a plain-language guide to what Belgian law allows, where

Industrial maintenance technicians keep Belgian factories, chemical plants, energy infrastructure, and commercial buildings running. They work to work orders, both planned preventive maintenance and unplanned reactive repairs, often at multiple locations, sometimes outside normal working hours, and frequently on call. Their time records serve two purposes simultaneously: NSSO social security
