What is a flexi-job in hospitality in Kortrijk and how do you find one?

What exactly is a flexi-job?

Since 2018 you can flexi-job in Belgium. It's a simple system: if you work at least 80% at another employer (or are retired), you can earn unlimited extra income in hospitality or other sectors. You pay no taxes or social contributions on your flexi wage. Great, right?

For the hospitality sector in Kortrijk, that's ideal: cafés, restaurants and hotels often need extra hands, especially on weekends or during events. And you can choose your own hours. How flexible do you want it?

How much do you earn as a flexi in Kortrijk hospitality?

The minimum wage for a flexi-job in hospitality is fixed. In 2025 you earn at least €12.14 per hour gross. And the nice part: that amount is immediately your net, because you don't pay social security or withholding tax. For an extra 8-hour shift on Saturday evening, you'll have almost €100 in your pocket. Some employers pay even more, depending on experience or the type of work.

Note: you don't build up holiday pay or end-of-year bonus through your flexi-job. But hey, that doesn't outweigh the freedom you get.

Who is a flexi-job in hospitality for?

Not everyone can simply flexi-job. The main rule: you must have worked at least 80% in the third quarter before at one or more employers. So if you work 4/5th, you can take on extra. Also, those who are retired (and at least 65 years old) are allowed since 2024, without that 80% rule. Students and unemployed unfortunately can't, because they don't have a fixed job of at least 80%.
