EOR (Employer of Record) in Bulgaria

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record (EOR) service allows international companies to legally hire employees in Bulgaria without establishing a local legal entity. The EOR acts as the formal employer on behalf of the client company, taking full responsibility for local employment compliance, payroll, taxes, and HR administration.

This enables businesses to expand into Bulgaria quickly without having to navigate the complexities of local labour laws, social security regulations, and administrative setup.

How will Bulgaria’s transition to the euro affect EOR services?
