Labour law

When employing people in Belgium, you’re confronted with a highly regulated employment landscape. PwC Legal can help you navigate the complexities.

Your challenges

Wading through the regulations of Belgian and international labour law under increasing compliance scrutiny from the authorities can be a daunting task. In addition, companies are increasingly shifting towards the future of work, with topics such as hybrid working at the front of mind, in which labour law plays an essential part. These challenges require you to react quickly and effectively to regulatory changes that affect your workforce in areas like equal opportunity, recruitment, working time and conditions, annual leave, termination of employment and employee representation in the company.
