Payroll in Halle: your staff administration with Business Centrum

Looking for payroll in Halle? Business Centrum takes over your staff administration from Ghent, with Acerta as the recognised social secretariat. Halle is in Flanders, on the edge of Brussels: your documents are in Dutch, also for French-speaking staff. We handle salaries, Dimona and contracts, and you always call the same contact.

What we take over

Employers in Halle and their joint committee

Halle has 3,510 VAT-registered businesses. In the Halle-Vilvoorde district around Brussels, three sectors carry weight:

  1. Trade

    Wholesale and retail is the district's largest employer, with 55,466 jobs; in Halle itself, 520 businesses are in trade. Shop staff often fall under JC 201, white-collar staff at a wholesaler without its own committee under JC 200.

  2. Logistics

    Transport and storage account for 27,631 jobs in the district, along the R0 ring road. Blue-collar workers in third-party logistics fall under JC 140.03, white-collar staff often under JC 226.

  3. Construction

    In Halle, 616 businesses are in construction, more than in trade. Their blue-collar workers fall under JC 124, with loyalty stamps and bad-weather rules.

What Business Centrum takes over for your business in Halle

From payroll administration to switching providers, this is what we take over:

  • Determining the right joint committee
  • Salaries every month, with indexation and sector bonuses
  • Every Dimona on time, also for students and flexi-jobbers
  • Contracts for blue-collar and white-collar staff, in Dutch
  • Holidays, sickness and absences
  • The quarterly return and NSSO contributions, through 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 does not add up.

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.

What counts on the edge of Brussels

Halle lies between Brussels and the language border, but follows the Flemish rules:

  1. Dutch, also for French-speaking staff

    Halle is in the Dutch language area, without language facilities. The Flemish language decree of 19 July 1973 requires Dutch for contracts, payslips and work rules; a document in French is void. A translation must be added if the employee representatives ask for it unanimously and the make-up of the staff justifies it.

  2. Flemish reductions

    Regional reductions follow the workplace where the employee works, so the Flemish ones apply to your workplace in Halle. The reduction of up to € 1,000 per quarter for jobseekers without recent sustained work experience does require at least 2 years of registration with VDAB.

How we work with you from Halle

You do not need to drive to Ghent to work with us:

  1. Remotely, and by appointment in Ghent

    You send hours and absences by email or phone; Acerta files the NSSO returns. To meet in person, you come to Doornzelestraat 23-25: 71 km via the R0 and E40, 60 minutes without traffic, or 61 minutes by train via Brussels-South and Gent-Sint-Pieters.

How to start from Halle

  1. Get acquainted

    By phone or at our office: how many people, which joint committee, what is in place today?

  2. Set up

    We open your file with Acerta and handle the switch.

  3. Every month

    You pass on the hours worked, we do the rest.

Payroll in Halle: frequently asked questions

Does Business Centrum have an office in Halle?

No. Our office is in Ghent, at Doornzelestraat 23-25. We work for you by phone and email; for a meeting at the office, you book an appointment.

Can a French-speaking employee in Halle get a contract in French?

Not as the only version: in Halle, Dutch is required and a document that breaks the language decree is void. A translation may be added.

Do the Brussels or the Flemish rules apply in Halle?

The Flemish ones. Halle is in Flemish Brabant, and regional reductions follow the workplace where your employee works, not where he lives.
