The employment contract forms the legal foundation of the employment relationship and is one of the key documents governing the collaboration between employer and employee. Under Belgian employment law, such contracts must comply with a detailed statutory framework and strict language requirements, while also reflecting the specific characteristics of the role, the organisation and the agreed working arrangements.
To support employers in drafting compliant and well‑balanced employment agreements, we make the Littler Employment Contract Designer available. Through a structured online questionnaire, employers can provide the key information required to generate a tailored draft employment contract, taking into account the applicable legal and language requirements.
Based on the information provided, the tool produces a carefully structured draft aligned with Belgian employment law and the agreed employment conditions. This draft serves as a solid starting point for the employment relationship, allowing legal requirements to be translated efficiently into an operational contract while preserving the flexibility required for role‑specific or organisation‑specific arrangements.
Importantly, the process does not end with document generation. Our team reviews the draft, identifies key attention points, highlights potential risks and alternative approaches, and provides context‑specific legal guidance where appropriate. This ensures that the employment contract is not only legally compliant, but also aligned with the employer’s broader HR strategy and the specific employment context.
