Setting up and managing payroll in Macedonia

Macedonia, now officially called North Macedonia, has developed significantly in recent years and is now increasingly recognized as a good place to do business.

If your organization is looking to expand into Macedonia, one of the first steps will be hiring employees locally, and this requires setting up a payroll in the country. While it is certainly possible to do this, Macedonia’s unique employment laws, as well as language and cultural barriers, can cause delays and make it a lengthy process for foreign businesses.

One way to bypass the process of setting up a payroll in Macedonia is to outsource the complex administrative work and ongoing management. At Horizons, we will establish and run your Macedonia payroll, ensuring full compliance with local legislation. Our outsourcing services are perfect for organizations with or without a Macedonia-based entity.
