Expanding into Bulgaria presents exciting opportunities for businesses looking to tap into a skilled workforce and a dynamic business environment. However, navigating employment laws, payroll, and compliance regulations can be complex—especially for companies without a legal entity in the country. This is where Horizons Bulgaria’s Employer of Record (EOR) services provide a seamless and compliant solution for international companies hiring in Bulgaria.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of a company. This allows businesses to hire talent in Bulgaria without the need to establish a local legal entity. The EOR takes care of employment contracts, payroll processing, tax contributions, benefits administration, and compliance with local labor laws, while the client company retains full control over the employee’s day-to-day tasks and performance.
Horizons Bulgaria, as a licensed Employer of Record, ensures that businesses can quickly and compliantly hire employees while minimizing administrative and legal burdens.
1. Full Compliance with Bulgarian Labor Laws
Bulgaria has specific regulations covering employment contracts, social security contributions, working hours, and termination policies. As a licensed EOR provider, Horizons Bulgaria ensures full compliance with national labor laws, so your company can operate without risks of legal penalties or misclassification of employees.
2. Hassle-Free Payroll & Tax Administration
Managing payroll, taxes, and social security contributions can be challenging for foreign companies. Horizons Bulgaria takes care of:
✔ Monthly salary payments in compliance with Bulgarian tax laws
✔ Withholding and filing of income tax and social security contributions
✔ Management of holiday pay, sick leave, and employee benefits
3. Cost-Effective Market Entry
Setting up a legal entity in Bulgaria requires time, financial investment, and expertise in local regulations. With an EOR solution, companies can hire employees immediately, avoiding the high costs of company registration and ongoing compliance management.
