Find out how Remote can guide you through the complexities of managing cross-border hiring, payroll, taxes, and compliance.

Employing in Luxembourg

Labor relations in Luxembourg are regulated by the Labor Code of 2006, and a number of European and international statutes that Luxembourg is signatory to.

Luxembourg’s workforce of over 487,000 enjoy protections against discrimination based on age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and race.

Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Luxembourg.

Minimum Wage

Effective May 1st, 2025, the minimum social wage for unskilled workers in Luxembourg increased by 2.5%, rising from €2,637.77 to €2,703.74 monthly.

For qualified workers, the minimum wage increased from €3,165.35 to €3,244.48 monthly.

Payroll Cycle

For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly installments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.

Onboarding Time

We can help you get a new employee started in Luxembourg 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.

Facts & Stats

Since its founding in 963 AD, Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Grossherzogtum Lëtzebuerg​) has enjoyed an exotic history that’d rival anything out of a history book: it’s changed ownership at least four times, produced four Holy Roman Emperors, and ruled over much of what is now Germany.

In modern times, Luxembourg boasts a developed economy with the world largest GDP per capita ranking, the 23rd highest human development index in the world, significantly low levels of inequality, and widespread civil and press freedoms.
