USS
The USS represents the common interests of its members, the Recognized Social Secretariats.
Since 1945, the social secretariats have been supporting employers in fulfilling their social and tax obligations with the government.
The Union of Social Secretariats (USS) unites and is the mouthpiece of the social secretariats in Belgium. They provide a range of services: wage calculation, declarations, social legal advice and HR services.
The USS strives for a simple application of social regulations for employers and advocates administrative simplification and legal certainty in the implementation of various government measures. In this way, the recognised social secretariats contribute to the growth and development of Belgian companies.
