Overtime payments for working on weekends?

aphxtwin

Hello. How does the overtime payment works in Belgium for working  on weekends or public holidays?

I've found this but I’m not sure if I understand correctly: link


Example:

If my regular working time is Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. But circumstantially, I must work on Weekend or Public Holiday, am I entitled to both compensatory rest day plus 50% extra for hours worked on Saturday and/or 100% for hours worked on Sunday or public holiday?


Additionally, is there a specific legislation for when you have to overnight abroad for work? Besides expenses covered by company, employees are entitled to specific compensation?


thanks :)
