Payroll Services in Bulgaria — Plameli Finance

Payroll for companies building a team in Bulgaria

Hiring a first employee brings new responsibilities, a contract, a registration, reporting deadlines, that are not directly part of running the business but require accuracy and attention to detail. We take on payroll administration in full, so the owner can focus on the business rather than the formalities around staff. We work with companies hiring their first employee and with teams that already have staff in place and want steadier, more predictable monthly service.

Hiring your first employee: contract and registration with NAP

Before an employee starts work, the employment contract must be drafted and the hiring notified to the National Revenue Agency (NAP); the law sets a short deadline for this, before the first working day. We prepare the contract to match the role, working hours, and agreed terms, and file the notification on time, so the first day of work proceeds without formal gaps.

The monthly payroll cycle

Every month we calculate gross and net pay for each employee, prepare payslips, declare the taxes and social security contributions due, and prepare the payment instructions to the budget and to the employees. The compliance calendar is set by law, and we track the deadlines so no payment or filing is late.

Employer and employee social security contributions

Part of the social security contribution is paid by the employer, and part is withheld from the employee’s pay; the exact rates and the split between the two change from time to time, so we confirm the current figures individually when calculating each specific payroll. What matters to you is that we calculate and declare the contributions correctly and on time, regardless of regulatory changes.

Sick leave, annual leave, and termination of employment

When an employee is on sick leave, they submit the certificate issued by the treating physician, and we submit the required data to the National Social Security Institute so the benefit can be calculated and paid. Every employee under an employment contract is entitled to paid annual leave, agreed in the contract and not below the statutory minimum set by the Labour Code. When a contract ends, by mutual agreement, at the employee’s initiative, at the employer’s initiative on a lawful ground, or on another statutory basis, we prepare the required documents and calculate the final settlement, including compensation for unused leave.

What you sign, what we handle

You sign the employment contracts, any amendments, and the orders related to hiring and terminating employees; that is your role as the employer. We prepare the documents for signature, file the notifications with NAP and the National Social Security Institute, keep the payroll records, and archive the personnel files, so that in a labour inspection or a NAP audit you have complete and orderly documentation.
