Collective Dismissal: The Current Rules and Upcoming Changes
Webinar | 05.10.21, 7:00 AM CDT - 9:00 AM CDT
Our current circumstances have resulted in many Belgian companies needing to restructure – whether it be a matter of a small headcount reduction or a collective layoff and closure of an undertaking. And, if we can believe recent press articles and surveys, it would seem that this state of affairs is likely to continue until at least the end of the year.
This webinar is designed to help companies get through these difficult times by explaining the collective dismissal procedure and its timeline, and highlighting some important points that employers need to consider. We will present a case study to give our attendees a concrete example of the different steps to be taken, and we will discuss some possible alternatives to collective dismissal. We will also look at some upcoming changes in this area, based on the most recent recommendations from the National Labor Council.

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
