Belgium: companies required to make online declaration of all workers on site

To facilitate monitoring of compliance with the requirement to favour working from home, as part of measures in Belgium to address the health emergency, the country’s national social security office (ONSS) is launching a portal where employers will henceforth be obliged to declare the number of employees per day that have to remain on site. At the beginning of each month, every company will have to enter details on – and provide justification for – workers who are on site as the nature of their role, or the need to ensure the continuity of services and activities, means they cannot work remotely.
