Looking for a freelance Payroll Specialist role in Brussels with international scope? Join a dynamic organisation and manage payroll across multiple European countries — hybrid work and competitive daily rate included.
Arcadius is currently looking for a Payroll Specialist who thrives in a complex, international setting. This role is perfect for someone who not only understands the ins and outs of payroll processing, but also enjoys connecting the dots between local legislation, accurate administration, and people-centered support.
In this role, you will take full ownership of payroll for white-collar employees in the Belgian head office and across seven European countries. You will ensure that every detail — from salary processing to legal compliance — runs smoothly, accurately, and on time.
What you’ll be doing:
- Oversee monthly payroll processes for offices in Belgium, and abroad in close collaboration with local payroll providers.
- Manage all statutory reporting requirements (including DmfA, NSSO, form 325, and Belcotax sheets).
- Prepare payroll reconciliations and ensure post-payroll reporting is delivered in a timely and compliant manner.
- Support the full employee life cycle administration: from onboarding to offboarding, illness, occupational accidents, insurance, and benefit management.
- Be a reliable go-to person for HR colleagues across countries regarding local labour laws and social legislation.
- Help implement and manage a cafeteria plan (flexible income plan), enabling employees to tailor their benefits.
- Track and manage employees with special tax statuses.
- Provide insightful reporting on payroll KPIs, absenteeism, headcount, and turnover for internal and external stakeholders (e.g. works council, social balance sheet).
Geboden wordt
- Full-time temporary role until 31 December 2025
- Hybrid work model: a mix of central Brussels office days and remote work
- Daily freelance rate: €600
