Your operation is always correct and fast!
Would I recommend Tentoo to others? For me it works great because it’s a personal and easy contact. If you’re a fan of that, try it too! The collaboration is incredibly smooth, I wouldn’t know why I would work with anyone else.
The legislation is too complex for us to take control of everything ourselves.
The cooperation with Tentoo is frictionless. The set-up was quick and they know what they are talking about. What I like is that they are also proactive in dealing with any contacts with the Belgian government.
We think it’s super cool to work with Tentoo. Your tool is very user-friendly, intuitive and very clear. We also get very few questions from our staff, so we think that’s great!
If you, as a company in Belgium, want to use a temporary employee, there are several options. The most common ones are:
– Interim work (Temporary Employment): These flexible workers are formally employed by the temp agency, allowing you to scale up or down quickly and efficiently. Even if you have already found the employees yourself and register them with a temporary employment agency via payrolling, this legally falls under temporary employment.
– Temporary employment contract: These contracts have an end date and end automatically at the end of the agreed period, with no notice period required.
– Self-employed workers (Freelancers): These workers bill their services to the company as self-employed and are not employed by the company.
– Student labour: Job students can work a maximum of 600 hours per year under this statute, ceding barely 2.7% of their salary.
– Volunteer allowance: This allowance is intended to help cover expenses that volunteers incur in performing their duties, such as transport costs or minor expenses.
– Amateur Arts Allowance (AAA): This is a specific scheme for amateur artists who receive a small fee for their artistic performances. The scheme has specific conditions and restrictions.
– Flexi-job: A flexi-job is a specific form of employment in Belgium designed to encourage extra work in sectors such as catering and retail.
To make good pricing arrangements with your client/freelancer, it is important that you talk about the same amounts.
After all, the billing amount for the client is ≠ gross pay ≠ net pay for the employee.
A schematic overview:
Invoice amount to client excl. VAT
– Expenses
– Dimona cost
/ Coefficient (=patron employer charges + SFU contributions + work accident insurance + Tentoo operating costs)
= Employee’s gross salary
– NSSO employee contribution (pension accrual, unemployment, health insurance, family allowance, annual vacation, etc.)
– Withholding tax (=an advance on the employee’s personal income tax)
= Net salary employee (+ any expenses)
