Part time work or job regulation in Belgium,France and Germany for Non EU(i.e.Bangladesh)students
Belgium
Foreign students coming from a country outside the European
Economic Area must follow an approved course of education in Belgium and be in
possession of a valid residence permit. During the Christmas, Easter and
summer college holidays, they are exempt from the requirement to possess a work
permit. If they want to work outside these college holiday periods, they
must have a type C work permit.
France
International students have the right to work while studying in France as
long as they are enrolled in an institution that participates in the national
student health-care plan. Students who are not nationals of EU member countries
must also hold a valid residency permit. The right to work applies to all
students, inlcuding those who are in France for the first time, those who are
enrolled in the first year of a university program, and those who are enrolled
full-time in a language school.The law allows students to work 964 hours in a given year, which corresponds to 60% of full-time employment for the year. Remember that you can't expect to meet all of your expenses by working part-time, so you must have other means of support.
France has a national minimum hourly wage, known as the SMIC. The SMIC presently stands at € 9,61 gross per hour worked since january 1, 2015, before mandatory withholding for social benefits. Withholding reduces the worker's net wage by about 20%.
You are no longer required to obtain temporary employment authorization (APT, Autorisation Provisoire de Travail) in order to work part-time while enrolled. (Exception: Algerian students are still covered by the Franco-Algerian agreement of December 27, 1968.)
Germany
If you come from a
Non EU country, then you may work 120 full days or 240 half days per
year. If you take a job as a student assistant or research assistant at the
university, it’s usually no problem to exceed the 120-day limit. However, you
are obliged to inform the Alien Registration Office if you do.
The employment laws pertaining to international students are
very stringent. If you violate them, you could be expelled from the country!
if you come from a non-EU country the amount of time you are
allowed to work is limited to 90 days per year with 8 hour working days, or 180
half days per year. In some federal states, you are only allowed to work during
vacation. Contrastingly those coming from within the EU have the same free
access to the labour market as German students do.
