Lundi supports compliant employment in Belgium for specialist hires — particularly EU institution-adjacent, French/Dutch bilingual roles, and Brussels regional operations. For larger teams seeking comparable senior talent at lower cost, Poland or Portugal typically offer better unit economics.
Belgium concentrates international and EU-institution-adjacent talent in Brussels, with additional depth in Antwerp (logistics, diamonds, port-tech) and Ghent (tech, biotech). Languages split between French (Wallonia), Dutch (Flanders), and German (small eastern region). Employer social contributions run ~25% above gross. Strong fit for specialist EU-institution-adjacent roles, multilingual B2B sales, and Belgian market presence. For cost-driven scaling Lundi typically recommends Poland or Portugal. For companies building teams of 10+ specifically in Belgium, not individual hires.
What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.
Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.
The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

Indefinite employment agreements are generally terminated through serving a notice period or the payment of an indemnity in lieu of notice.
Belgium notice periods vary based on seniority. Because there’s no probationary period, notice periods in Belgium were made to be shorter for employees in the first 6 months. Notice periods by seniority are as follows:
In Belgium, notice must be given in writing and specify the start date and the length of the notice period. If the contract is terminated by the employer, notice must be served by registered mail. It’s also important that notice is given in the correct language.
If the employment contract is terminated with the payment of an indemnity in lieu of notice, no specific formalities need to be complied with.
Lundi works with companies building teams of 10 or more across business, technical, and operational functions . Not for one-off hires or individual placements.
EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
