Horizons® provides local employment, payroll and HR administration for international companies engaging employees in Bulgaria. Review the practical service scope, monthly operating cycle, responsibilities and optional support available for your team.
The commercial term Employer of Record describes a service in which a local provider manages formal employment responsibilities while the client company retains operational direction of the employee.
We review the intended role, candidate status, working model, salary, benefits and start date. The parties agree the service scope, responsibilities, funding process and required documents.
Onboarding proceeds only after the feasibility review and execution of the relevant service and employment documentation.
Horizons® manages the agreed payroll and employment administration. Your company assigns work, sets objectives, manages performance and provides the information and approvals needed for accurate monthly processing.
Employment changes and offboarding are coordinated by both parties according to the agreed process and applicable requirements.
The exact inclusions are defined in the proposal and service agreement. Items outside the agreed scope are quoted separately before implementation.

EOR is a commercial service term. Bulgarian legislation regulates undertakings providing temporary work. Provider status, the role, employee circumstances and the intended working model must be reviewed before onboarding.
A short introduction to the service model. The video provides general information; the appropriate Bulgarian setup must be confirmed for each hiring case.
The answers below describe a typical service. Your final proposal and agreement determine the actual scope, responsibilities and fees.
The agreed service may cover employment documentation, monthly payroll, statutory deductions and contributions, leave records, employee-file administration, employment changes and routine employee support. The final inclusions are listed in the proposal and agreement.
No. Employee remuneration, employer statutory costs, benefits and reimbursable expenses are employment costs funded by the client. The EOR administration fee is a separate service charge unless the proposal states otherwise.
The funding deadline is defined in the service agreement and payroll calendar. Funds and complete payroll inputs must be received early enough for processing before the applicable payment and reporting deadlines.
Agreed locally available benefits may be coordinated through the service, subject to eligibility, insurer or supplier terms, pricing and the selected employment setup.
Proposed changes should be discussed with Horizons® before implementation. Employment terms can require formal documentation, payroll changes, employee consent or other actions under the applicable process.
The client company normally sets objectives, assigns work and manages day-to-day performance. Horizons® handles the agreed formal employment and HR-administration steps and should be consulted before any action affecting employment terms or status.
Yes. Horizons® can separately provide candidate search and selection, followed by EOR feasibility review and onboarding for the selected professional.
We will review the requirement and outline the feasible employment structure, service scope, estimated costs and onboarding steps.
