The Certificate of Service From Employer (Certificat de Travail/Getuigschrift van Tewerkstelling) is a fundamental document in Belgian employment law, required whenever an employment relationship ends. This obligation applies regardless of the reason for termination, whether it's resignation, dismissal, mutual agreement, or retirement. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides proof of previous employment for future employers, supports social security claims, and helps establish employment history for various administrative purposes. As mandated by Belgian legislation, particularly the Employment Contracts Act and Royal Decree of 8 August 1980, the certificate must include specific information such as the employment period, job functions, and employer details. The document must be provided in the legally required language based on the company's location in Belgium's linguistic regions.
