We think INS Global is a good solution about starting business in new and complex markets. Understanding the market doesn’t mean you need to set up a company immediately.
When deciding to expand into a new country through an HR outsourcing services provider, it is helpful to understand the differences between a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) and an EOR (Employer of Record). While these two options provide many of the same services, they differ in how they deliver these services to your employees.
Depending on your situational requirements, INS Global offers both PEO and EOR services in Hungary. You can read our article on the differences here or contact our team of specialists today to learn more and see which service is best for you.
All contracts in Hungary must be made in writing and set forth the basic job details and requirements to be considered valid.
Fixed-term contracts may not exceed 5 years.
Probation periods may not exceed 3 months.
Full-time employment in Hungary is equivalent to 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. Working hours may not exceed 12 per day.
250 hours of overtime are allowed per year. Overtime is considered anything outside of the standard hours outlined in the employment contract.
Overtime hours must be paid at 150% standard salary, or 200% during the weekend or other rest periods.
The minimum amount of paid annual leave days an employee in Hungary is entitled to is 20 days, plus up to 10 extra days depending on the employee’s age.
There are a minimum of 11 days of paid public holidays in Hungary, with some others being unofficial but expected.
Employees in Hungary are eligible for up to 15 days of paid sick leave. This is paid at 70% of their standard salary by the employer.
Beyond 15 days, employees can provide proof of sickness and receive up to a year of sick leave. During this time, a sick leave benefit is paid 1/3 by the employer and 2/3 by social security.
Paid maternity leave in Hungary is 24 weeks. During this time, mothers are eligible for a maternity leave benefit of around 70% of their standard salary.
Paid paternity leave in Hungary is 5 days, and can be taken in the first 2 months after the birth of a child.
After the end of maternity leave, one parent may choose to take parental leave until the 2nd birthday of their child. During this time, they can receive childcare benefit.
Parents in Hungary are also entitled to a maximum of 7 extra days of paid annual leave, depending on the number of their children.
Corporate tax in Hungary is 9%.
Personal income tax is a flat rate of 15% gross income.
As of 2023, employers should expect to contribute around 13% of their employee’s standard salary towards social security contributions. The employee’s contribution is 18.5%.
These social security contributions may not apply to non-Hungarian employees.
In Hungary, the price of specialized EOR services is calculated as a portion of a coworker’s monthly income. This price includes all HR tasks required to ensure compliance with all local employment rules.
Managing employer duties through an EOR without a brand-new local company structure in Hungary is secure, legitimate, and efficient. EOR services achieve this by offering first-rate HR support and in-depth familiarity with the regional legal system.
When implementing an EOR service agreement, your team members will be legally protected, receive correct and timely monthly payments, and be eligible for all Hungarian employee benefits.
In addition to having complete control over their work, independent contractors who interact with clients through a Hungarian EOR may be eligible for many or all of the same benefits as normal employees or if they were working with an umbrella company.
Our recruiting professionals can find the best local Hungarian staff for your requirements by utilizing their broad professional networks, in-depth knowledge of available local business resources and standards, and strict adherence to ethical hiring practices.
As a result, integrating them into our Hungarian EOR system will be easier and more effective than employing these candidates through more conventional hiring procedures.
You obtain thorough compliance-assured employment outsourcing help from a genuinely global EOR services provider in Hungary through INS Global. Employer of Record services help you to stay compliant with all local and national laws in Hungary. EOR support means you can pursue your next opportunity anywhere in 100+ countries, including Hungary.
Some Hungarian PEO or EOR service providers could have strict hiring standards or limit the number of workers you can hire at once. However, your long-term business plan might require you to scale up or down quickly. You can work with us and hire as few or as many individuals as you need to accomplish your goals.
Payroll costs, hiring fees, signing bonuses, and other direct and indirect expenditures like incentive schemes, managing the taxes of foreign workers, and social insurance should all be included in the total cost of hiring in Hungary.
By using Hungarian PEO services, you won’t need a local office, saving you from onerous incorporation regulations.
It is still a good idea to give your employees the option to work in a shared workspace or the freedom to do so whenever and wherever it’s most convenient. Additionally, INS Global can assist in locating suitable workspaces in Hungary.
We can deal with all distinctions when Hungarian citizens or foreign workers are subject to particular local employment standards, tax legislation, employee incentives, visa requirements, or work permit rules.
EOR and PEO solutions can be used by companies of all sizes, from SMEs to large corporations, to speed up their expansion. It is now feasible to hire local or foreign workers effectively and securely thanks to solutions for employment outsourcing.
Our services can even replace more complex internal HR requirements and are easy to scale up to meet the demand for new hires.
The legal expertise provided by PEO and EOR services may be useful for businesses in a range of industries that either don’t have their own structures in a target country (or wish to avoid cost-scaling difficulties while focusing on expansion).
Staffing firms and umbrella businesses are two more methods that can be used to directly or indirectly engage independent workers.
In Hungary, most independent contractors are self-employed or run their own small businesses. When hiring contractors, Hungarian law mandates labor service agreements rather than employment contracts.
An independent contractor may be needed to provide a resume, portfolio, verified references, and a signed NDA before beginning work in Hungary.
A company with the correct tax identification registration can run payroll for their employees, typically on a monthly basis. Employers are responsible for social security contributions and tax management on behalf of their staff.
At the beginning of 2023, Hungary raised the minimum wage to HUF 232 000 per month, with a higher minimum for educated professional workers of HUF 296 400. These amounts are predicted to rise again before the end of the year.
As an EU and Schengen Area member, Hungarian visas follow standard EU patterns. For EU and EEA citizens, no documentation is required to live and work in Hungary. A work visa and residence permit are required for citizens of most other countries. A work visa in Hungary may be valid for up to 3 years at a time, with the option to apply for an EU Blue Card (valid for 4 years for qualified professionals).
In Hungary, employers and employees contribute to the employee’s social security fund amounts equivalent to a percentage of the employee‘s standard wage. This social tax in Hungary is 13% for employers and 18.5% for employees.
All employees in Hungary are eligible for a pension, paid leave, health exams, and some subsidized allowances for food and transport. While not mandatory, many companies offer supplementary health insurance.
In Hungary, employment contracts should be concluded in writing, with changes also agreed upon in writing. Employers may temporarily reassign employees or adapt the conditions of a contract, but this cannot exceed 44 days in a calendar year.
The healthcare system in Hungary is funded by taxes, social security contributions, and co-pays, with 100% of the population eligible for services through this system. While most treatment is free, some additional services, including prescriptions, may include additional costs.
Notice periods in Hungary vary from 30 to 60 days, depending on the length of the employee’s service.
Employees with a minimum of 3 years of service with a company are eligible for 1 month of standard salary as severance pay. This amount increases by 1 month after 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years of service.
The National Labor Office (NMH) of Hungary carries out checks and oversees employee rights through numerous Labor Inspection Units throughout the country.
Hungarian employees are eligible for an average of 11 days of paid time off per year due to national holidays.
