Bypass complex setup requirements

We handle it all: salary payment in line with the employment contract, social insurance filings, gross-to-net payroll, statutory withholdings, and payslip generation, so you don’t have to.
No need to set up a legal entity
With us, we onboard employees or contractors legally with minimal delays and risk, and help get your global team off the ground effortlessly and at speed.
3–5 days onboarding with employment contracts, payroll, and tax setup ready to go.
Employment Contracts
We support full-time, part-time, fixed-term, and contractor agreements compliant with Serbia’s Labor Law, clearly specifying role, pay, working hours, leave entitlements, probation, and termination terms.
Background checks
We run proper checks so you don’t have to hope for the best. Comprehensive screening aligns with Serbian employment standards and regulatory requirements where possible and applicable.
Visa & Work Permits
Serbia offers two work visa types: C visa for stays under 90 days and a D visa for over 90 days. A separate work permit is also needed, obtainable only with a job offer after the employer confirms no local workers are available.
Equipment provisioning
We make employee onboarding effortless by managing all equipment provisioning. We also have ties with multiple co-working spaces to boost employee productivity 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
Includes pension, disability, health, and unemployment benefits; contributions withheld and remitted per legal requirements; capped based on average salary limits.
Overtime
Standard workweek: 40 hours. Overtime is capped to daily/weekly limits and paid at a minimum 126%. Work on public holidays pays at 110%.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Coverage
Compliance with the Labor Law, social insurance regulations, notice requirements, and dismissal protections.
Audit-ready documentation
We maintain organized records: employment contracts, payslips, social security filings, and leave logs that are fully audit-ready.
Worker classification & penalties
Accurate classification is critical to avoid liabilities. Our employment contract and filings comply fully with Serbian law.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Employees are entitled to a minimum of 20 working days of annual leave per year.
Sick leave
Sick leave in Serbia is complex. Employees are entitled to paid sick leave for up to 12 months. This leave is paid at different rates and by different payers depending upon the length and type of sickness, but cannot be any less than 70% of the employee’s regular monthly salary.
Maternity leave
Employees are entitled to maternity leave, which varies in length from 1 to 2 years 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
The minimum notice period as dictated by law ranges from eight to 30 days. The notice period will depend on the circumstances of the termination and whether a process needs to be followed. A longer notice period can be agreed in the employment contract.
Severance & final payouts
In Serbia, all employees who are terminated due to redundancy are entitled to severance pay. Severance pay is 1/3 of the employee’s monthly salary per year of service. Upon termination, accrued but untaken vacation, unpaid salary, including notice pay, and any additional mandatory payment must be paid within 30 days from the date of termination.
