Benefits Guide
Employing in Hungary
Hungarian employment is legislated by a combination of national and international laws, matching its fellow European countries in most respects. Employers and employees in Hungary must use written employment agreements to commence employment relationships. These contracts must include several details, including the title of the position, the pay to be paid, and the location where the work will be performed. With remote work on the rise, employers must be vigilant to ensure their employment contracts in Hungary will hold up to scrutiny.

Hungary differentiates between the minimum wage and the guaranteed minimum wage. The guaranteed minimum wage only applies to full-time employees hired for jobs that require at least a secondary school qualification or secondary vocational qualification. The minimum wage applies to everyone regardless of qualifications.
Starting January 1, 2025, the minimum wage in Hungary will be 290,800 HUF per month, and the guaranteed minimum wage will be 348,800 HUF per month, based on a standard 40-hour workweek.
The minimum wage is known locally as "minimálbér." The guaranteed minimum wage is "bérminimum."

We can help you get a new employee started in Hungary fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 4 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Hungary, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Hungary may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
