What is the Standard Employment Agreement offered by Horizons in Belgium?

At Horizons, the standard employment agreement (EA) offered to employees in Belgium is designed to align with the country's labor laws and practices. Here's a summary of how the agreements are structured:


Type of Employment

  • Indefinite Contracts: All employment agreements provided by Horizons are deemed to be indefinite (permanent), as per Article 7 and 11 of the Loi relative aux contrats de travail.
  • Full-Time Employment: The standard employment agreement is always full-time unless specified otherwise. This means employees are typically expected to work the full working hours set by the company.


Part-Time Employment (Exceptions)

  • Part-Time Arrangements: While the standard EA is full-time, part-time employment is possible under exceptions. If part-time work is agreed upon, the working hours and schedule must be clearly specified in the employment agreement and mutually agreed upon with the employee.


In summary, Horizons follows the legal framework in Belgium to ensure that all employees are offered indefinite, full-time contracts, with part-time arrangements being an exception that requires mutual agreement.
