Speakers
We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming webinar: "Belgian Employment Law Update - Key Changes & What to Expect in 2026" on Tuesday 3 March, from 12:00 to 13:00 CET.
Several significant changes to Belgian employment law entered into force on 1 January 2026, with further reforms expected later this year. This session will provide a clear and practical overview of what has changed, what is coming next, and what this means for HR teams and in-house counsels.
Agenda highlights include:
- (Long-term) sick leave: New statutory rules affecting employees on sick leave and the corresponding obligations for employers.
- Terms and conditions: Recent developments impacting compensation and benefits, including meal vouchers, caps on termination indemnities, and other key employment terms.
- Compliance: Practical guidance on new compliance requirements, including the obligation to implement an investigations policy and an absenteeism policy.
Our speakers will share hands-on experience and actionable takeaways to help you navigate the evolving employment law landscape with confidence.
