Get Up to Speed with the New Belgian Labor & Employment Laws

Webinar | 12.15.22, 6:00 AM CST - 8:00 AM CST

Register

There have been many recent changes in Belgian labor and employment law - changes that are likely to significantly impact your daily HR practice. 

For instance, are you aware that employees can ask for a four-day working week, or to work more during week 1 and less during week 2? What about the right to be offline after working hours? Or the fact that a sick leave note will no longer be required for every short-term absence? Then there is the new definition of a “working day” in the Civil Code; the new obligations on employers with respect to training; and the revamp of the rules on the reintegration of employees on long-term sick leave and medical force majeure. And new laws have recently come into force implementing the EU Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions Directive and the Work Life Balance Directive.  

Emmanuel, Evelien and Gloria will bring you up to speed with the new and upcoming rules and will share best practices with you concerning their implementation in your company.

Language: Dutch & French

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
