Navigating Belgium's Enhanced Limosa Declaration: Simplifying Compliance For Posted Workers

In April 2024, Belgium introduced a new functionality to the Posted Worker Notification (PWN), known as a Limosa declaration. It is now possible to add up to 20 places of employment in one Limosa declaration, where it was previously only possible to add five work locations. This reduces the administrative burden and costs for employers when sending employees temporarily to multiple worksites in Belgium.

Understanding the Limosa and the importance of compliance

The Limosa regulations require employers to declare any foreign workers who are temporarily posted to Belgium for work purposes. Compliance with the declaration ensures posted employees are treated equally to local Belgian employees regarding minimum wages, safety standards, working hours and conditions.
