How does it work?

If you would like to call upon the services of an ALE worker, simply let us know by phoning 02 211 14 -64 or by emailing: info@alepwabru.be

Your ALE adviser will explain the procedure (fast and straightforward) to sign up as an ALE services user and order your cheques. The adviser will also support you in your dealings with Sodexo (the company that issues ALE cheques). 

The annual subscription costs €7.45, it is free of charge for persons benefiting from VIPO status.

The cheques cost €7.45 each and entitle you to a tax benefit (see below).

ALE cheques are labelled with the name of the user and must be ordered from Sodexo (minimum order of 10 cheques).

At the end of the activity, you simply hand over a cheque to the ALE worker for each hour worked or begun.

Who are ALE workers?

The ALE workers are men and women, currently looking for employment, who volunteer to work a legally limited number of hours, without losing their benefits.

ALE workers can undertake 45 or 70 hours per month depending on the type of activity, with a maximum of 630 hours per year.

Any new assignment is subject to a prior interview between the ALE worker and our Advisers in order to ensure that their profile meets the needs of the user.
