Task 1:

You are an English-speaking employee in a Belgian company. You wish to consult

your lawyer about the following three problems at work. Read each problem out to
your partner and then make a note of the advice you are given:

1. I normally work in the Brussels office but the company has set up a project
group in the offices of a cooperation partner in Antwerp and now wants to
send me there for the third week in a row I asked my line manager how long
my presence in Antwerp was going to be for and she said she didn't know. Can
she keep sending me to Antwerp for as long as she wants?'
Ans:
A manager can send employees for company cooperation projects according to
company needs but she can’t send the same employee there week after week.
As written in the work contract regarding employee duties is, “Employees as
External Project Coordinators, manage the Company's projects with external
partners in the field of telecommunications software development."

2. I have 36 hours on my overtime account at the moment. I'm trying to save for
a holidays and I'd like to be paid for all 36 hours. My line manager says that I
should accept payment for 12 hours and that should take the other 24 hours as
free time. He says that he doesn't have time to discuss the matter further. Do I
have to accept this?'
Ans:
To ensure this, you should discuss it again at a later time and still pay attention
to the manager’s schedule and still pay attention to the work contract at the
point of “leave entittlement.”

hotidays because she has children aged eight and ten. I haven't got any
children, but when I told her that my live-in boyfriend is a school teacher, she
said that thisdoesn't count. ls she right?'

Over to You

1. Although they’ve made a few good points regarding their workplace clothing
regulations, there are some points that I don’t agree with. I have no problem
with their Department wanting a more casual but professional look on their
employees, as long as it is enforced both ways for men and women. If they
require their men employees to wear collared shirts and ties it’s completely
fine, but for their new regulation to have an impact on their overall employees
look, they also need to regulate the women’s clothing in some way. They don’t
have to wear collared shirts and tie per se , but a simple skirt , dress , trousers ,
or fitted shirt would suffice just fine.
2. I do sympathize the employer . It is not easy regulate the employees that they
have on a daily basis . But in order to gain respect and trust from their
employees , they have to listen to the problems that their employees currently
have with the way they run things . In this case , it is regarding the clothing
regulation faced by Matthew and Dennis.
3. I have no work experience as I’m currently only a freshman in one of the state
university in Jakarta . However , the university does have a dress code for both
men and women even though it’s nothing too complicated . It requires all
students to wear a respectable formal or at least semi – formal clothing while
in class to show respect to your lecturer .
4. Yes , it does apply to different groups of people equally . I fully support the
dress code that the university is enforcing because it is only common sense to
show up to class dressed properly for the occasion .
