Social secretariat for Deinze and Nevele: offices, construction and farming

Your social secretariat for Deinze is in the same district: from Ghent, Business Centrum runs your payroll, Dimona declarations and contracts, with the returns via Acerta. The train takes you to Gent-Dampoort in 24 minutes, direct, but we handle most things by phone. We know the joint committees of offices, construction, and farming and horticulture, the main groups in Deinze.

What we take over

Employers in Deinze and their joint committee

What Business Centrum takes over for your business in Deinze

This is what we take over:

  • The right joint committee, also for a business with blue-collar and white-collar staff
  • Every Dimona on time, also for seasonal work and students
  • Contracts for permanent staff, students and flexi-jobs
  • Monthly salaries, with indexation, end-of-year bonus and holiday pay
  • The quarterly return and NSSO contributions, via Acerta
  • The switch from your current social secretariat

What is left for you

You tell us who works and what changes. We call you if something is not right.

Business Centrum is a payroll and HR office and your fixed contact in Ghent. Returns to the NSSO go through Acerta, a recognised social secretariat.

Working with our Ghent office from Deinze

Like Ghent, Deinze is part of the Ghent district. There, 12,409 of the 16,416 workplaces have fewer than ten employees. For employers like these, we work as follows:

  1. Call or get a call back

    You call us or your fixed contact, who knows your file, calls you back.

  2. By appointment in Ghent

    Our office is at Doornzelestraat 23-25, 9000 Ghent. The train takes 24 minutes without a change to Gent-Dampoort, the station closest to our office. By car it is 20 km via the N466, 27 minutes without traffic.

  3. Everything else remotely

    You pass on hours worked and absences by email or phone. You do not need to come to Ghent for your payroll. More on employers in the city and its surroundings is on our Ghent page.

How to start from Deinze

  1. Get acquainted

    A conversation by phone or at our office: who works for you, under which committee, what is in place?

  2. Start

    We set up your file with Acerta and handle the switch if you already have a social secretariat.

  3. Every month

    You pass on the hours worked, we do the rest. Your staff get their payslip on time.

Social secretariat in Deinze: frequently asked questions

Do you also work for companies in Nevele, Landegem or Vinkt?

Yes. Since the merger, Nevele and the other villages are part of Deinze. We work for the whole town, from our office in Ghent.

My horticultural firm employs seasonal workers. Can you handle that?

Yes. Seasonal work in farming and horticulture has its own rules. We do every Dimona and process the days worked in the payroll, on your committee's pay scale.

Does my social secretariat have to be in Deinze?

No. The Dimona and the quarterly return go to the NSSO electronically. What matters is that you can call someone who knows your file. If you want to drop by, you book an appointment in Ghent.
