Employment and Compliance Built In
Hiring great staff is one part. Ensuring that staff are employed properly, compliantly, and seamlessly is the other. At Connect, we don’t just help you recruit — we become the legal employer of record (EOR) for your staff in North Macedonia and the region.
Local Employment Contracts
Every remote hire is engaged under a locally compliant employment contract, covering job description, working hours, salary, probation terms, leave entitlements, and all essential employment conditions.
Payroll and Social Contributions
We manage payroll for all remote employees directly, including all legally mandated taxes and social security contributions covering health insurance, pension funds, and unemployment insurance. Payments are accurate, on time, and aligned with Macedonian labour law.
No Legal Entity Required
You gain the flexibility to hire and manage remote staff as if they were your own, without the cost or complexity of setting up your own local company or office in Macedonia.

Your team’s tech matches your in-house setup, with hardware and software configured to your standards. We enforce strict IP and confidentiality clauses in all contracts, monitor devices remotely, and can instantly disable access if required.
HR Support and Documentation
We handle all HR administration, onboarding documentation, and employment record-keeping, providing you and your staff with a smooth employment experience.
Legal Requirements for Employing Staff in Macedonia
Employing staff in Macedonia comes with clear, structured requirements — and we handle them for you. Here’s what’s important:
Employment Contracts
All employees must have a written employment contract that clearly sets out their role, responsibilities, working hours, salary, and other terms. Contracts can be indefinite or fixed-term.
Probation Periods
A probation period of up to 4 months is allowed and can be included in the employment contract. During this period, termination procedures are more flexible.
Working Hours and Overtime
The standard working week is 40 hours, with a legal maximum of 48 hours including overtime. Overtime is allowed but requires additional compensation.
Leave Entitlements
Employees are entitled to a minimum of 20 days of paid annual leave. Additional entitlements include sick leave, maternity leave, and paternity leave, all governed by specific regulations.
Minimum Wage
Macedonia has a nationally mandated minimum wage that all employers must comply with. This rate is subject to regular review and adjustment.
Social Security Contribution
Employers must pay contributions covering pension, health insurance, and unemployment insurance. These are calculated as a percentage of gross salary and remitted to Macedonian authorities monthly.
What is your approach to HR and staff discipline?
We operate a fair but firm HR policy. After probation, we apply a three-strike policy for disciplinary matters. If you feel someone isn’t right for your business, we can act faster where needed.
Do you lock clients into long-term contracts?
No. We work on 60-day terms. Our contract is performance-based — you keep us on while we perform. This flexibility ensures both staff and our team stay focused on delivering results.
