This Consultant Employment Contract is specifically designed for use under Belgian law when engaging professional consultants in an employment relationship. It should be used when a company wishes to hire a consultant as an employee rather than an independent contractor, ensuring compliance with Belgian employment legislation, social security requirements, and tax regulations. The contract addresses crucial aspects including service scope, remuneration, intellectual property rights, data protection, and post-employment obligations. It is particularly important in distinguishing the employment relationship from self-employment status under Belgian law, which has significant implications for both parties' rights and obligations. The document incorporates mandatory Belgian employment protections while maintaining flexibility for project-based or specialized consulting work.
