It\u00a0brings several challenges and responsibilities, especially in light of new legal requirements. In this article, we explore the key obligations and concerns that contractors need to consider in order to stay compliant and minimize risks.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onyx-one.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/subcontractors-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.onyx-one.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/subcontractors-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.onyx-one.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/subcontractors-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.onyx-one.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/subcontractors-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.onyx-one.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/subcontractors-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.onyx-one.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/subcontractors.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-vander-elst-exemption-a-solution-with-conditions\">Vander Elst exemption,\r\na solution with conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-background-color has-background\">Tight labor market forces companies to look beyond national borders. The Vander Elst exemption, based on the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Case C-43\/93), allows EU companies to temporarily employ workers from third countries (outside the EEA and Switzerland) who are legally employed in an EU member state in other EU member states without additional work permits. This is possible under the conditions that the employees work legally in the home member state and the employment in the other member state is temporary. In Belgium, this exemption applies nationwide, and companies must follow national procedures such as the Limosa notification to remain compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-chain-liability\">Chain liability <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-background-color has-background\">Contractors working with subcontractors from third countries should be aware of their liability in the event of illegal employment. Currently, contractors can exempt themselves from liability by obtaining a written declaration from the subcontractor stating that it does not employ illegal immigrants. However, liability revives if social inspection proves that the contractor had knowledge of the illegal employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-background-color has-background\"><strong>New duty of care<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Flemish government has introduced additional obligations to strengthen chain liability. This duty of care requires contractors to request additional documents from their direct subcontractors, such as:\r\n&#8211; Identification and contact details of the subcontractor.\r\n&#8211; Personal data of foreign employees and self-employed workers.\r\n&#8211; Expected: proof of identity, residence permits, labor cards, and Limosa\r\n&#8211; Residence and work permits.\r\n\r\nAlthough the exact requirements are yet to be determined, it is expected that proof of identity, residence permits, labor cards, and Limosa notification will be necessary. Although Flanders and Wallonia both have rules on chain liability and duty of care to prevent abuse in the employment of foreign workers, there are some differences in the stringency and specific requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Level of strictness<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-background-color has-background\"><strong>Flanders<\/strong>\r\nGenerally more stringent with additional duties of care. Specific checklists and documents are required to ensure compliance.\r\n<strong>Wallonia<\/strong>\r\nAlso strict, but possibly less detailed in certain requirements. Emphasis is on similar principles, but with some differences in implementation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Documentation requirements<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-background-color has-background\"><strong>Flanders<\/strong>\r\nSpecific requirements for requesting subcontractor identification and contact information.\r\nEmphasis on need for personal data of foreign workers, including residence and work permits.\r\nImplementation of Limosa notification strictly enforced.\r\n<strong>Wallonia<\/strong>\r\nAlso requires subcontractor identification and contact information.\r\nFocus on obtaining residence and work permits, but possibly less specific requirements for additional documents such as labor cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Control levels &amp; inspections<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-background-color has-background\"><strong>Flanders<\/strong>\r\nContractors must actively check that documents are valid and correspond to reality.\r\nSpecific check on expiration dates of residence and work permits.\r\n\r\nStrict inspections and enforcement by inspection agencies. Contractors must be able to demonstrate compliance with all due diligence requirements. Heavy fines and penalties for non-compliance.\r\n<strong>Wallonia<\/strong>\r\nRequires control of documents, but exact control measures may be somewhat less stringent than in Flanders.\r\nExpiration dates must be tracked, but emphasis on active control may be less intense.\r\nAlso subject to inspections, but enforcement may be somewhat less rigid compared to Flanders. Fines and penalties present, but frequency and intensity of inspections may vary.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-netherlands\">Netherlands<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-background-color has-background\"><strong>Wet ketenaansprakelijkheid (WKA)<\/strong>\r\nContractors are responsible for complying with rules surrounding the employment of foreign workers. They must take care to request relevant documents such as work permits and residence papers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-germany\">Germany<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-background\"><strong>Arbeitnehmer-Entsendegesetz (AEntG)<\/strong>\r\nThis regulates the employment of foreign workers and places responsibility on the contractor to check work permits, residence statuses, and other relevant documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-france\">France<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-background-color has-background\"><strong>Loi Macron<\/strong>\r\nCompanies hiring foreign workers must meet strict documentation requirements, including work permits, residence documents, and compliance with minimum wage rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-united-kingdom\">United Kingdom<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-background-color has-background\"><strong>Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006<\/strong>\r\nEmployers must verify the residency status and work permits of foreign workers and are responsible for compliance with immigration laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-considerations-when-working-with-foreign-subcontractors\">Considerations when working with foreign subcontractors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-background-color has-background\">In addition to the Vander Elst exemption, contractors must consider other administrative obligations. For example, an employee-foreigner must be able to present a Schedule 3 or Schedule 15\/A card for employment on Belgian territory.\r\nA digital database is being developed according to the \u201conly once\u201d principle, which will ensure that documents already held by the government do not have to be requested again.\r\nIf the subcontractor does not provide the necessary data, the contractor must give it one reminder and, if the documents are not provided, inform the inspection. The duty of care does not include a legal obligation to check, but it does require checking the validity of documents such as residence and work permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-0-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-08d6e71a54437269a08b640fd72ef67a\" id=\"h-a-smart-approach-with-onyx-one\">A Smart Approach with Onyx One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Working with foreign subcontractors requires a careful approach to meet legal obligations and ensure chain liability.
