Establishing and maintaining an Albania payroll

If your organization is looking to expand into Albania, 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, Albania’s unique employment laws, as well as language and cultural barriers, can cause delays and make it a lengthy process for foreign businesses.

At Horizons, we specialize in helping organizations of all kinds expand internationally, including into Albania. We will handle your payroll setup and ongoing management, whether or not you already have a registered in the country, simplifying the entire process and ensuring you are up and running in days, not weeks or months.
