Checkinatwork (CIAW) is a mandatory digital system for attendance tracking on construction sites with a contract value of €500,000 or more (excluding VAT). Both the general contractor and all subcontractors are required to register every employee and independent contractor present upon arrival and departure.

This requirement applies to the entire supply chain: foreign subcontractors and self-employed workers must also be registered through Limosa. The labor inspectorate can request and verify these registrations at any time.

In the event of non-compliance, companies risk administrative fines ranging from €1,800 to €9,000 per violation. Repeated violations result in higher penalties and more frequent inspections by the labor inspectorate.

In addition, the client may be held liable if he fails to ensure that his contractors and subcontractors maintain accurate records.

Under Joint Committee 124 (Construction), employees are entitled to a mobility allowance for commuting to various job sites. The calculation is based on the actual distance between the employee’s home and the job site and varies depending on the distance bracket.

An incorrect or unverifiable calculation can result in social security and tax adjustments. LIVE.connect automatically records job sites, ensuring that reimbursements are always accurate and properly documented.

Starting in July 2026, the requirement to use a digital tachograph will also apply to delivery vans with a maximum authorized mass exceeding 2.5 tons that are used for commercial transport. This is an extension of the existing EU regulations on driving and rest times (Regulation 561/2006).

In practical terms, this means that even companies with a small fleet of delivery vans must install an approved tachograph system and regularly download and store the data.

European driving and rest time regulations specify the maximum amount of time a driver is allowed to drive before being required to take a break. In essence: a maximum of 9 hours of driving per day (extendable to 10 hours, up to twice a week), with mandatory 45-minute breaks after 4.5 hours of driving.

Roadside inspections are conducted by traffic police or inspection agencies, who read the tachograph data. In the event of violations, fines are imposed on both the driver and the company. Fleet.connect automatically downloads the tachograph data and alerts you in advance of impending violations.

Every vehicle belonging to a licensed manure transporter in Flanders that transports animal manure must be equipped with an AGR GPS device certified by the Mestbank. The device automatically records each trip and transmits the data to the Mestbank.

Without a valid and functioning AGR-GPS system, a licensed manure transporter is not legally permitted to operate. The fines and consequences for the license in the event of non-compliance are severe.

The neighborly exchange scheme allows farmers to transport manure to or from a neighboring plot without being a licensed manure transporter. However, a registration requirement still applies here: each trip must be digitally recorded using the AGR-GPS app for the neighborly exchange scheme.

Anyone who fails to do this correctly risks fines and problems with their manure balance at the Manure Bank.

Agricultural vehicles that operate exclusively on the farm or on private roads are exempt from the tachograph requirement. However, as soon as an agricultural vehicle enters a public road and exceeds the weight threshold for commercial goods transport, the rules on driving and rest times may apply.

In practice, this primarily affects contract workers and licensed manure transporters who drive heavy vehicles on public roads for commercial purposes.

Both systems track attendance, but for different sectors. Checkinatwork (CIAW) is mandatory on construction sites with a contract value of €500,000 or more. CIAO (CheckInAndOutAtWork) is specifically designed for the professional cleaning sector and applies to all client locations where cleaning activities take place, regardless of size.

AllConnects' LIVE.connect supports both systems through the same interface.

Yes. The CIAO requirement applies to all professional cleaning companies in Belgium, regardless of their size. Even a sole proprietorship that provides cleaning services to business customers is subject to this requirement.

Every employee must check in using the approved system upon arrival and departure. Fines for non-compliance increase with each violation.

Yes. The Checkinatwork requirement applies to all parties on the construction site, including subcontractors and their own subcontractors. If your company is performing work on a construction site with a contract value of €500,000 or more, you are required to register your employees and independent contractors.

Each party is individually responsible—even if the general contractor manages the system on-site, as a subcontractor, you are personally responsible for ensuring that your employees are properly registered.

That depends on how the vehicle is used. Starting in July 2026, the tachograph requirement will apply to delivery vans with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 2.5 tons that are used for commercial goods transport. If you drive solely for personal or internal use, an exception applies.
