1. ⚠️ LEGAL BASIS AND FORM 1.1. This part-time contract MUST be recorded in writing individually for Employee name no later than the moment work starts. Absent a valid written contract, the worker is presumed on inspection to be employed under the FULL work schedule — with the associated RSZ/ONSS back-charges. 1.2.

Minimum-hours check: Minimum-hours check — a part-time position below 1/3 of a full-time equivalent is unlawful unless a sector CAO expressly derogates.

3. ⚠️ VARIABLE SCHEDULES — NOTICE 3.1. Where the schedule type above is variable, the Employer must notify Employee name of each specific schedule at least Notice given for variable schedules (working days) working days in advance (statutory minimum: 7 working days).

— — — ⚠️ This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. Belgian labour, data-protection, consumer- protection and camera-surveillance law (Arbeidsreglementenwet of 8 April 1965; the Dimona declaration regime under RSZ/ONSS; the flexi-job legislation, open to ALL sectors — subject to sectoral opt-out — from 1 July 2026, with a 2026 income ceiling of €18,440/year and a HoReCa minimum flexi rate of €12.78/hour from 1 March 2026; the 650-hours/year student quota (2025– 2026 reform); deeltijdse arbeid rules on minimum hours and variable-schedule notice; the 2014 Wet betreffende het eenheidsstatuut on notice periods, as reformed for contracts starting on or after 1 June 2026; the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), supervised by the GBA/APD; Boek VI WER/ CDE on distance sales and the 14-day herroepingsrecht/droit de rétractation; and the Camera Act of 21 March 2007 with the Royal Decree of 8 May 2018) is highly procedural, tied to fixed statutory deadlines (e.g. Dimona BEFORE work starts, arbeidsreglement filed with the inspection within 8 days, camera declarations no later than the day before activation) and to sanctions that include absolute nullity of documents. ⚠️ CRITICAL: the language of every HR/labour document is determined by the location of the operating office, NOT by the parties' choice — Flanders (Vlaanderen) requires Dutch only, under the Taaldecreet of 19 July 1973 a document in any other language is ABSOLUTELY VOID; Wallonia (Wallonie) requires French; Brussels (Bruxelles/Brussel) requires Dutch or French depending on the worker's own language; the German-speaking Community requires German. This English text is a DRAFTING AID ONLY and must be translated into the legally required language for the actual operating office before use, and reviewed and adapted by a Belgian employment/legal advisor (avocat/advocaat) or accountant (comptable/boekhouder) and verified against current FOD WASO/SPF Emploi, RSZ/ONSS, GBA/APD and FOD Economie/SPF Économie guidance before use.
