Service Voucher

So, what is it?

You can call upon home help workers from the Local Employment Agency of the City of Brussels to help you with domestic tasks, anywhere in the Brussels-Capital Region and periphery.

Service Voucher activities are subsidised by the public authorities to make use easy and accessible to all.

The Service Voucher system also entitles you to a tax reduction (see below).

Service provisions last a minimum of 3 hours and must be conducted regularly; they are performed exclusively in the home of the user.

How does it work?

If you would like to call upon the services of a home help, simply let us know by phoning 02 211 14 68 or by emailing: info@alepwabru.be

Your Service Voucher adviser will explain the procedure (fast and straightforward) to sign up as a Service Voucher user and order your cheques from SODEXO (Service Voucher issuing company).

The Service Vouchers are available in paper or electronic versions, according to your preference (see below).

One Service Voucher corresponds to one hour of service provision, and costs €10 or €12 depending on the number of cheques purchased (see below).

At the end of the activity, either simply hand over a cheque for each hour worked or begun (paper version) or validate the number of hours worked on the SODEXO website (electronic version).
