We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Social security contributions
We manage filings and monthly contributions. Typical 2024–2025 contribution structure: employer social tax (~13% “social tax”) plus other employer contributions; employees contribute social security at ~18.5% (employee side), all subject to caps and specific bases. We keep records and remit on schedule.
Overtime pay
Standard working hours are 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week; however, the weekly working time can not exceed 48 hours per week. Any overtime and pay must be agreed upon within the employment contract. The standard workweek is from Monday to Friday. Overtime payment is mandatory. Employees can work a maximum of 4 hours of overtime daily and 8 hours of overtime weekly.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Hungarian Labor Code coverage
Stay compliant with the Hungarian Labour Code and related regulations, which apply to full-time, part-time, fixed-term, and temporary employees and cover working time, leave, notice, termination, and social security obligations.
Worker classification & penalties
Misclassification of employees can create liability for unpaid contributions and fines. We help you classify workers correctly, draft an employment contract, register employees for social security, and avoid penalties.
Audit-ready documentation
Our solution keeps employment contracts, payslips, contribution statements, time and leave records, and statutory filings organized so we are ready for audits or labour inspections.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Employees are entitled to a statutory minimum of 20 working days of paid annual leave per year, and additional days accrue with age (additional days based on age bands, up to more days after 45). Employers typically manage accrual and scheduling in line with the Labour Code. Public holidays are also to be considered as time off. There are 10 public holidays in Hungary during which time the employees cannot work.
Sick leave
Employees are eligible for statutory sick pay/benefits under the social security system; employers handle the initial absence and documentation, and may top up pay per company policy. Employees are entitled to 15 working days per year, during which time they must receive 70% of their salary during the absence.
Maternity leave
Maternity regimes provide for paid leave; adoptive/maternity specifics and pay rates are governed by social insurance and labour law. Parental leave and childcare-related entitlements exist; these are administered per statutory rules.
Special Leave
Parental holidays apply to both parents each year until the children attain the age of 16. Additional leave ranges from two days to seven days, depending on the number of children.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly
Notice period
Hungarian law requires advance notice of termination, typically 30–90 days, depending on the reason and tenure. We manage statutory notice periods and the required documentation.
Severance & final payouts
Severance applies where statutory conditions are met (commonly after a minimum service threshold, with caps depending on tenure). We calculate final pay, accrued leave, and any severance and deliver timely final settlements.
