Projet de loi portant modifications relatives au régime des heures supplémentaires volontaires et du Code pénal social.

This is a Belgian government bill (projet de loi) submitted to the Chamber of Representatives. It proposes changes to the rules governing voluntary overtime, which allow employees to work additional hours beyond their contracted schedule by mutual agreement, and to the Social Penal Code, the body of criminal provisions that enforces labour and social security law. The bill concerns labour regulation at the national level. Employees and employers in Belgium who use or are subject to voluntary overtime arrangements would be affected, as would those responsible for compliance with social law. Because the title refers to the Social Penal Code, enforcement and penalties for labour violations may also change. The exact content is not captured in this metadata.
