How to find flexijob vacancies in your area?

Suppose you have a job from Monday to Friday, but on the weekend you'd like to earn some extra. Or you're retired and want to stay among people, without immediately taking a full-time job. Then you quickly come across the term flexijob vacancies. But how do they really work? And why is this not just an ordinary part-time job?

The big difference lies in the status. As a flexi-jobber you enjoy a beneficial tax arrangement: your gross wage is immediately your net wage, because no social security or withholding tax is deducted. Only a small solidarity contribution of 1.8% (for you) and an employer contribution of 25%. That makes it interesting for both you and your employer. And you don't build up extra social rights, but that's logical: you already have a main occupation.

Who are flexijobs intended for?

Not everyone can simply become a flexi-jobber. There are clear conditions: you must work at least 4/5th for one or more employers, or be retired. Students cannot be flexi-jobbers; they fall under the student contract. Unemployed people also cannot, because a flexijob is not a replacement for a main job. But for those who do qualify, it's a great way to earn up to €12 per hour (minimum wage set in sector collective agreements, often higher in hospitality).

How to find the best flexijob vacancies in your region?

Most people go to large job sites and see a list of hundreds of jobs, but without them being filtered by their municipality. Here at Experza we've approached it differently: we collect all flexijobs from Flanders and organize them per city or village. So you simply enter your postal code and immediately see if a nice café in your street is looking for someone, or a supermarket around the corner needs an extra weekend worker. It's that simple.

The most popular sectors and positions

Where can you work as a flexi-jobber? The supply is broad, but a few sectors stand out:

• Hospitality: waiter, bartender, kitchen help. Perfect if you like working in a cozy atmosphere and earning tips.
• Retail: shop assistant, cashier, department manager. Often on Saturdays or shopping Sundays.
• Logistics: warehouse worker, order picker. Ideal for those who like being physically active and getting things done.
• Cleaning: cleaning help, cleaner in offices or care facilities. Regularly in early mornings or evenings.
• Care: kitchen help or logistical support in residential care centers. Often for flexijobs for retirees who want to give something back.

Each sector has its own charm, and often you can choose a flexijob that perfectly matches your hobbies or interests.

Flexijobs on weekends or evenings: is that possible?

Absolutely. Many flexijobs are precisely at peak times: Friday evening in a restaurant, Saturday in a shop, Sunday in a brasserie. You can also take fixed evening shifts if that fits your schedule better. Because as a flexi-jobber you have no fixed minimum hours, you choose how much you work, in consultation with your employer. That way it always stays fun and never too much.

Also for those who are retired and want to do something during the day, there are plenty of options. Think of a few hours in a library, or helping at a local farm shop. You can even find flexijobs from home, such as administrative support or online customer service, although that supply is more limited. But it's possible.

How much can you earn and what about taxes?

That's a frequently asked question. For a flexijob a minimum wage applies per sector, but hospitality for example has a minimum of about €12.57 per hour (2026 figures). On that you only pay that 1.8% solidarity contribution, and done. You may earn up to €14,020 per year extra without your tax benefit changing. Anything above that can affect the tax-free allowance of your household, so keep an eye on that if you really work many flexi-hours. But for most flexi-jobbers that's far future: it remains a nice extra.

And do you work in hospitality? Then tips come on top, which are fully net. Some flexis thus bring in a substantial amount per month, without the tax authorities touching it.
