The Unlimited Employment Contract (Contract van onbepaalde duur / Contrat à durée indéterminée) is the standard form of employment agreement in Belgium, used to establish permanent employment relationships. This document is essential when hiring permanent employees in Belgium, regardless of their level or function within the organization. It must comply with strict Belgian employment law requirements, including the Employment Contracts Act of 1978, various collective bargaining agreements, and social security legislation. The contract should be used whenever a company intends to hire an employee for an indefinite period in Belgium, as opposed to fixed-term or specific project-based employment. It includes mandatory provisions required by Belgian law such as working hours, remuneration, place of work, and function description, while also incorporating references to work rules and applicable collective bargaining agreements. The document serves as the cornerstone of the employment relationship, providing both parties with clear rights and obligations while ensuring compliance with Belgian employment regulations.
