What this work gives you

You want experience that will count later

A student job always brings in money, and the right one also adds a line to your CV that recruiters ask about. Administrative work does. You learn the systems companies actually use, you see a file from start to finish, and after a semester you have something concrete to talk about in an interview.

Office work does clash with class hours, and we say so openly. That is why most of these assignments run in half-days: two fixed mornings, a Friday, or a block during the holidays when the regular team is away.

Good to know

Pay, hours and the 2026 rules

What do you earn in an administrative student job?

In office roles your pay follows the scale of your employer’s joint committee and the job level, not your age. We always state the hourly rate in the vacancy, before you apply.

How many hours can you work while keeping the benefit?

Since the Act of 10 April 2025 you may work 650 hours per calendar year on a student employment contract, and that quota is permanent, according to the NSSO. On those hours you and your employer together pay a solidarity contribution of 8.13%, of which 2.71% is yours. Beyond 650 hours, the ordinary contributions of 13.07% apply from the 651st hour, on those extra hours only. Your counter is on Student@work.

Do you need to be studying economics?

For most administrative work, no. If you study accountancy, business management or commercial sciences you will be considered sooner for invoicing and back office, but for file handling and data checking what counts most is accuracy and discretion.

Do you stay a dependant of your parents for tax?

You remain a dependant as long as your net means stay below 12,300 euros, a uniform amount for income year 2025. On top of that, a band of 7,010 euros of your student pay does not count for income year 2026. Child benefit, however, is a regional matter and the rules differ: the Groeipakket in Flanders (groeipakket.be), Iriscare in Brussels (iriscare.brussels) and AViQ in Wallonia (aviq.be). Check the conditions with the body for your own region, because they differ from region to region.

Frequently asked questions

About a student job in administration and back office

No. In the first few days you are shown the systems and you work alongside a regular colleague.

650 hours per calendar year at the solidarity contribution of 8.13%, according to the NSSO. Your counter is on Student@work.

You might. You sign the same agreements as the permanent staff, and you only get access to what your task requires.

It happens regularly. Your employer can take you on, so the way to a permanent job after your studies stays open.
