Best EOR Providers in Belgium (2026): Shortlist & How to Choose

Belgium bans lending staff to a third party that exercises part of the employer's authority. The main exception is temporary agency work through a regionally licensed agency, and only for one of six reasons, such as replacing an employee, a temporary increase in work or insertion with a view to permanent hiring.

That makes the legal basis the first question for any EOR in Belgium. Employer costs are also high: ONSS contributions, double holiday pay and, for white-collar staff under joint committee 200, a 13th month and automatic indexation.

Criteria

What to look for in an EOR for Belgium

1
Legal basis
Ask whether the provider employs your hire as a licensed temporary work agency, under which of the six reasons, and how it respects that reason's maximum duration.
2
Equal pay at the user
A temporary worker's pay may not be lower than a comparable permanent employee's at your company, including benefits such as meal vouchers. Ask how the provider checks this.
3
Joint committee and indexation
Ask which joint committee applies, how automatic indexation and the year-end bonus are handled, and whether they're in the quote.
4
Notice periods
Belgian notice grows with seniority under a statutory scale. Ask how the provider calculates notice and who pays it.
