Employment contracts
All employment contracts are drafted according to Bulgaria’s Labour Code, clearly defining the worker’s personal details, position, duration, salary, working hours, leave entitlements, probation, termination terms, and notice requirements. Written documentation is mandatory for enforceability.
Background checks
We run proper checks so you don’t have to hope for the best. Comprehensive screening aligns with Bulgarian employment standards and regulatory requirements where applicable.
Visa & work permits
We can help with complete work permits and visa support for international hires across all Bulgarian permit categories where possible.

The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Social security
We register and remit employer and employee social contributions to pension, health, unemployment, and accident funds, in line with current thresholds on a monthly basis as part of our standard payroll process.
Overtime pay
Standard hours are eight hours within a five-day working week, equating to 40 per week. Overtime is regulated and can only be achieved by written mandate from the employer and cannot exceed 10 hours per day. These additional hours are compensated at minimum rates of 50% on top of the daily hourly rate for regular days, 75% for weekends, and 100% for public holidays.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Labor Law compliance
We ensure full adherence to the Bulgarian Labour Code, covering employment contracts, leave policies, notice periods, termination protocols, and disciplinary procedures, with the adherence of full compliance on matters relating to discrimination.
Worker classification & penalties
Essential worker classification and documentation are critical and are supported under our solution. Our employment contracts and payroll processes ensure full legal compliance to avoid liability. Adherence to the same level of compliance is maintained when onboarding contractors onto our platform.
Audit-ready documentation
Our EOR keeps employment contracts, payslips, contribution statements, time and leave records, and statutory filings organized so we are compliant with our auditing obligations.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Employees receive a minimum of 20 working days of paid annual leave, provided they have attained 4 months of continuous service. Certain professions may qualify for up to 48 days. Public holidays total 16 paid days per year.
Sick leave
Paid sick leave is granted for up to 180 days, starting with 70% pay by the employer for the first 3 days and 80–90% by social insurance thereafter.
Maternity leave
Women are entitled to up to 410 days of maternity leave, with 135 days paid. Fathers receive 15 days of paid paternity leave, with an optional extension of 2 months for childcare.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly
Notice periods
Indefinite-term contracts require 30–90 days’ notice, most commonly 30 days. Fixed-term contracts demand 3 months’ notice or the contract remainder, whichever is shorter. In cases involving company property, notice may extend to 2 months.
Severance & final payouts
Mandatory severance starts at one month’s gross salary for qualifying dismissals. Final payouts also include compensation for unused annual leave.
