The procedure for drawing up/modifying the employment regulations applicable to staff that, on the one hand, is employed at the diplomatic missions or consular posts and that, on the other hand, is subject to the legislation applicable in Belgium, was set by Royal Decree.
The procedure described in the Royal Decree of 9 December 2015 (which entered into force on 31 December 2015) can actually be summarized as follows :
- if there are no observations, the employment regulations shall become effective on the 15th day following the day of posting;
- if there are observations, the directorate of the social legislation inspectorate shall attempt to reconcile the different positions within a period of thirty days:
- if the attempt at reconciliation succeeds, the employment regulations shall become effective on the 8th day following reconciliation;
- if the attempt at reconciliation fails, the employer shall draw up the employment regulations (after he has received a copy of the official report of non-reconciliation); the employment regulations shall become effective 15 days after the date of the decision taken by the employer (unless otherwise specified).
Reminder! The procedure for drawing up/modifying the employment regulations applicable in private sector companies is described in the Act of 8 April 1965 establishing the employment regulations. This procedure differs according to whether or not the company has a works council.
