The Director Employment Contract is a specialized agreement used when appointing executive directors in Belgian companies, where the individual will serve both as a corporate officer and an employee. This dual status requires careful consideration of both Belgian corporate law and employment regulations. The document is particularly important as it defines the scope of authority, responsibilities, and protections afforded to the director while ensuring compliance with Belgian legal requirements, including social security obligations, corporate governance codes, and EU regulations. The contract is essential for establishing clear terms of employment, remuneration structures, and termination provisions, while also addressing specific Belgian law requirements regarding language, jurisdiction, and mandatory employment protections.
