Belgian employers are not required to offer the federal mobility budget to every employee with a company car. It is a voluntary option that employers can provide, and both the employer and the employee must agree to participate in the mobility budget system. This allows for flexibility and negotiation between the employer and employee regarding whether to switch from a company car to the federal mobility budget.
No, employers are not required to offer all mobility options within the federal mobility budget. They have the flexibility to choose which options to provide, based on their company policy and the needs of their employees. Employers must ensure clear communication about the available options to their employees. Expense categories can be managed in Mbrella.
