The coalition government in Belgium has reached an agreement to adopt measures which will help create jobs in e-commerce as well as in ‘Horeca’, the hotel and restaurant industry. It is hoped that this will be achieved through tax breaks and greater flexibility of working hours. Furthermore, a “springboard jobs” system will be set up to help young people enter the labour market, with the coaching of older workers.
“Flexi-jobs” and tax breaks in the Horeca industry. In accordance with the Horeca plan adopted in February 2015, a special status was created for individuals working 80% of the time outside the Horeca industry and would like to have an extra job in this sector. The allowances in this system will entitle workers to social rights.
