Frequently asked questions
Yes. We manage the employer social contribution tax (szocho), currently around 13% of gross salary, along with Hungary’s flat 15% personal income tax withholding. We also apply the Hungarian Labour Code’s statutory minimum of 20 days’ annual leave (rising with age) and notice and severance rules based on tenure.
The SZÉP card, a state-regulated benefit card usable for accommodation, hospitality, and leisure spending with favorable tax treatment, is close to a standard expectation in Hungary, alongside private health insurance and meal contributions. Given Hungary’s competitive nearshore/BPO and manufacturing labor market, these extras are frequently the deciding factor in candidate offers.
Statutory notice is a minimum of 30 days, increasing with tenure up to 90 days, and severance pay is due based on length of service, ranging from one to six months’ average earnings for employees with at least three years of service. Hungarian labor law sets out specific grounds and procedural steps for lawful termination that need to be followed precisely to avoid claims.
An EOR can typically onboard within one to two weeks for tax and social contribution registration, compared with the several weeks needed to incorporate a Hungarian entity (such as a Kft.) and register with the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV).
Hungary’s tenure-based severance formula and specific termination procedures require ongoing local administration to manage correctly. An EOR handles that compliance and carries the liability, which is typically the more practical route for companies building shared-services or manufacturing-support teams in Hungary.
