Costs and invoicing
You pay only for the hours worked, at a rate that suits student work in your sector. The student’s gross pay follows the scale of your joint committee. The average hourly pay for a student job in Belgium is 14.21 euro in 2026, according to Securex. We state the rate in the quote, before you sign anything.
On the first 650 hours per calendar year a solidarity contribution of 8.13 per cent applies instead of the ordinary contributions, according to the NSSO. Of that, 5.42 per cent is the employer’s and 2.71 per cent the student’s. From the 651st hour the ordinary contributions of 13.07 per cent apply, on those extra hours only.
One invoice, even when several students work for you. It covers the hours worked, the pay and the contributions.
Yes, a transfer fee applies. Your account manager will gladly explain the terms.
Rules and paperwork
650 hours per calendar year on a student employment contract, made permanent by the Act of 10 April 2025, according to the NSSO. The student tracks the counter on Student@work.
The student employment contract, the Dimona declaration, time registration, payroll, paying the correct contributions and the insurance. You stay in charge of who works and when.
From 15 for light, non-industrial work, as set out in the Royal Decree of 19 April 2026, published in the Belgian Official Gazette of 4 May 2026. Anyone under 18 needs a health assessment beforehand.
Young people may not operate dangerous machinery or carry out hazardous work. There is an exception when four conditions are met together: the student is over 18, does not drive motorised transport equipment, follows a course of study related to the activity, and the committee for prevention and protection at work has given its advice. A risk assessment of the workstation remains necessary at all times.
