About us

The Belgian legislator has amended the rules on opening hours in the retail sector, providing more flexibility for businesses to change their opening hours.

šŸ’” Businesses will be able to change their weekly rest day every three months (instead of the current six months). The change must be clearly indicated at least one week prior to the beginning of the month in which the change will be implemented.

šŸ’” The new rules will enter into force 10 days after publication in the Belgian Official Gazette. Keep an eye on our LinkedIn page for further updates.
