Document background
The Telework Agreement serves as a crucial document in modern employment relationships in Belgium, particularly as remote work becomes increasingly prevalent across industries. This agreement is designed to comply with Belgian labor law requirements, specifically Collective Labour Agreements No. 85 and No. 149, which provide the legal framework for telework arrangements. The document is essential when establishing or formalizing remote work arrangements, whether structural or occasional, and should be implemented when an employee will work regularly from a location other than the employer's premises. It covers critical aspects including working hours, equipment provision, expense compensation, health and safety measures, data protection, and performance monitoring. The agreement helps protect both employer and employee interests while ensuring compliance with legal requirements and establishing clear protocols for successful remote work arrangements.
