Since you never mentioned how you got the visa or if it was a permanent one or not no one can say.

A little bit more info could help! Otherwise check out the office of Foreign Affairs: http://diplomatie.belgium.be/en/services/travel_to_belgium/visa_for_belgium/index.jsp

How does it work with bank holidays that fall on the weekends in Belgium
How does it work with bank holidays that fall on the weekends in Belgium?
I joined the company in June. There's 2 bank holidays that fall on the weekend (15th of August & 1st of November). The company recuperated those days in january and May respectively. I was told now, that because I joined the company in June, those two days are lost and I can't take them off at some other time. Is this correct? It just doesn't seem fair that I have to work two days more than everybody else and still get the same kind of payment. I don't really care that others had that day off in January, when I wasn't here. I would think that I have a right to have this day off as well, just at some other time (choosen either by me or the company). Well... I think you should fight for your rights. If they'll walk over me now, they'll keep on walking.

Ok, so it may not to fair, but I'd say don't push the issue. You're new at the company and you don't want to make a bad impression. You may come off badly if you try to push this issue so soon after you arrived. One day doesn't matter so much in the long run.

If you wanna fight for your rights in Belgium make sure you got the money and know the right people as there is still an awfull lot of friends politics and if you ain't one of the crowd you will get nowhere most likely ... Alternatively you could join the Union. Then you will have to decide wether to join the Socialist Union (ABVV), the Catholic Union (ACV) or the liberal Union (ACLVB). Unless you have the statue of 'bediende' and then you can join the BBTK too. Welcome to Belgium :-)

Actually both dates are Legal Holidays in Belgium. If a legal holiday is on a weekday you get free, if these days happen to be during the WE (and you normally dont work in the WE) nothing changes for you. In banking companies (or another - financial - companies that follow the CAO of the banking industry) there are an extra 4 bankholidays. Every year the unions consider when these are taken. For 2009 2 of them are fixed and are considered as replacement of the 2 dates you mentioned. The other 2 are free to choose. You get the holidays on the fixed dates if you have a contract in that period. So in your case it is a disavantage. Someone who had a contract till now but quit, had these 2 days off for free :-) Don't hestitate do ask the human resource team if this is correct. But they have to follow the rules, this is well organised in Belgium (at least something is well organised here). If you dont agree or if you are not sure, ask the union. But I dont know if they answers questions of people who are not a member, but you can try. Another option is contact the social agency or accountant that calculates the wages for your company. If the company is not correct in this let them know about it. But you need some documentation to prove they are not correct. But dont forget we dont have these fight-culture over here. Asking and talking is no problem but it is not appreciated you are too assertive. If you wanna talk about this or need more help, just send me a message.

Does anyone know of a business in Belgium that is on the net
Does anyone know of a business in Belgium that is on the net?
I received an email reguarding this business that is cargo and transportation. They are looking for people to allow wire transfers into their accts and then western union the money to other people, clients. Does anyone know if this is legit, or a scam? I am a stay home mom trying to find work from home. This would be ideal, but I don't want to get burned or into something illegal. Thanks for your help.

I've received these too. These companies are paying Monster or other internet resume sites to "filter" resumes. They're not really looking closely at your resume, it just met the criteria they typed in. With all the new scrutiny being given to banking transactions, I would not consider any "foreign" based company that wants to pay you to process money. If you decide to pursue this, definitely check with several U.S. federal agencies to see if these are legitimate jobs - or just money laundering schemes. Good luck...
