Hello,

Could anyone with adequate information answer this.

Thank you.

@jill dervla A week without the contract will be seen by prosecutor as a break of work. I got screwed up exactly like that: i have a week break between contracts so my counter of uninterrupted work got restarted anew exactly on the day of the new contract. City Hall informed me of this (I am in Leuven).

@BuRukh That's terrible, quick one how about paternity leave do you have any idea if taking it will be considered an interruption to work. I saw that once you take the twenty days your employer only pays for three days and the remaining days you get paid by the mutuelle

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I have heard anecdotally of friends of friends who had trouble because one contract ended on a Friday and the other started on the Monday. They had to readjust their old contract end date with their old employer to end on the Sunday. In the end I made sure my old contract ended the day before I started the new contract, to not take any risks.

I do not think paternity leave should affect it as this does not impact the start and end dates of contracts.

If you are Irish, why do you want Belgium citizenship, when you are an EU citizen?
