What Does the Hangi Agreement Mean?<\/h3>

If you plan to work in Belgium or are already living here, the type of employment contract you sign is of great importance. The contract you sign directly affects your rights, social security, and employment security.<\/p>

In this article, we briefly and clearly explain the 5 most common types of employment contracts in Belgium. Here are the details:<\/p>

Indefinite Work Contract\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

This type of contract is the safest and most common employment contract in Belgium.
If you work with CDI, it is not clear when your work will end.
It provides job security and dismissal procedures are subject to stricter rules.
It is generally preferred for full-time and long-term positions.<\/p>

Fixed-term Employment Contract\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

CDD means a business relationship limited to a specific period of time.
The start and end dates of the contract are known.
Generally, project-based jobs are used for temporary hires or trial periods instead of maternity leave.
These contracts can be concluded consecutively a maximum of 4 times and for a total of 2 years.<\/p>

Student Contract\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

It is a special type of contract for students who have turned 15 years old.
It allows for up to 600 hours of work per year, and the social security deduction is much lower.
It is advantageous for both the employer and the student.
Part-time jobs for students are organized in this way.<\/p>

Interim Employment Contract<\/strong><\/h3>

Interim contracts are usually made for short-term and temporary jobs.
These contracts are concluded through employment agencies (interim offices).
It provides flexibility, but it is weaker in terms of job security compared to other contracts.
It is ideal for quick hiring and short projects in particular.<\/p>

Freelance Work\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

Working freelance in Belgium is also a common form of employment.
These types of employees do their own work without being tied to an employer.
Taxation, social security and other legal obligations are carried out individually.
Flexibility is high, but all responsibility also belongs to the employee themselves.<\/p>
