Employer of Record (EOR)

The Belgian economy is characterised by a highly productive workforce, high GNP and high exports per capita. Belgium’s main imports are raw materials, machinery and equipment, chemicals, raw diamonds, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, and oil products. Its main exports are machinery and equipment, chemicals, finished diamonds, metals and metal products, and foodstuffs.

Hassle-Free Expansion

The economy, driven by a strong service sector, offers a Gross Domestic Product of €507.2 billion, 25th globally in 2021. Belgium’s GDP ranks 11th among EU nations and is predicted by the World Bank to reach USD 610 billion by the end of 2022. Belgium is a wealthy nation whose world ranking jumps to 18th with a per capita GDP of USD 50,413.

According to the Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs of the European Commission, Economic growth in Belgium is expected to reach 2.8% in 2022, 0.2% in 2023 and 1.5% in 2024. Following the substantial increases in energy prices, high inflation, forecast to reach 10.4% in 2022, 6.2% in 2023 and 3.3% in 2024, is projected to temper the growth of private consumption. The government deficit is projected at 5.2% of GDP in 2022, reflecting the budgetary response to high energy prices. In 2023, the worsening of macroeconomic conditions is projected to widen the budget deficit to 5.8%.

But each market brings in new challenges. These can be worked through efficiently and cost-effectively with the support of an international Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) such as Bradford Jacobs, primarily through our Employer of Record (EOR) framework. This can be best utilised when businesses are just beginning their expansion process and require more information before incorporating an entity and fully establishing themselves in that market.

Why Choose an EOR?

Our EOR services in Belgium offer our global entity network to companies considering an expansion. We become your international employees’ Employer of Record, meaning that we take full responsibility for your employees’:

  • Labour contracts
  • Compliance with Belgian laws
  • Tax contributions
  • Payroll

As an Employer Of Record, we conclude an agreement with you and the employee who will be working for your company. We become the legal employer of your new workforce. Your company maintains control over the working relationship, work ethics, tasks, and daily responsibilities of your employee.

The most significant benefit of using our EOR services in Belgium is probably that there is then no necessity for you to set up an entity there. This process can take months, and during this period, it is unlikely that you will have legal resources to pay your employees in Belgium, resulting in a considerable delay in your Global Expansion plans.

Global expansion is an exciting step that often leads to a growing and successful business, but the red tape in a new country can be demotivating and frustrating. Imagine a way to expand your business without red tape globally and at low costs: that is what working with an EOR can do for you. By letting us take care of the hard part, you can focus on the significant part: expanding your business into Belgium.

These are the aspects we can take away from you:

  • Registering with the tax and social security office.
  • Immerse yourself in Belgian laws, customs, and regulations.
  • Get familiar with Belgian labour benefits and other contract-related customs.
  • Approach potential employees and make them an offer.
  • Setting up the Payroll system compliantly.
  • Submitting wage tax returns and national insurance forms.
  • Staying up-to-date and compliant with changes in Belgian regulations.

Benefits of Using EOR Services in Belgium

For Employers

As an employer, you are usually responsible for all legal aspects regarding your employees’ employment. In a new country, this process will probably take some more effort, but it does not have to.

We can help you with the following:

  • A tailored solution that fits your company’s needs and plans.

  • Local experts inform you about all you want to know about the Belgian market.

  • Providing EOR best practices on tax, treaties, expenses, and social security.
  • Fast-paces and efficient hiring.
  • Easy withdrawal from the market without worrying about labour contracts.

  • A hassle-free start of your Belgian journey within days.
