North Macedonia is a small country in Southeast Europe. It borders Kosovo, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and Albania. Its history ranges from being part of many empires and kingdoms from the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Ottoman Empire, and finally to being part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, until its secession in 1991.
Like many countries, the economy of North Macedonia suffered, going down to -6.1% economic growth in 2020, but has since recovered some of its losses with a positive growth of 4% in 2021. The economy is considered upper-middle income, with chief industries being construction, wholesale trade, and retail trade.

All employees are entitled to fully paid annual leave of 20 days. Annual leave may be extended to 26 days if mutually agreed by employer and employee. Up to 26 days of leave can be taken by employees with 30 years of service. Part-time workers can take 10 days of annual leave. The payment for annual leave is 40% of the average of the last three months’ net salary.
Employees are entitled to sick leave for sickness, disease, or any need for health services. The payment for sick pay depends on the duration of the sick leave: - 70% of the normal salary is paid for up to seven days. - 80% of the normal salary is paid for up to 15 days. - 90% of the normal salary is paid for over 15 days. The employer pays for the first 30 days and health insurance pays for sick leave beyond 30 days. In the case of maternity, paternity, disease from work, illness from work, or during the donation of blood, tissue, or organs, the benefit is 100% of the employee’s average monthly salary. These cases are paid by the Health Fund.
Pregnant employees should provide a medical certificate to their employer and start maternity leave a minimum of 28 days before the expected delivery. The employee may choose to take maternity leave 45 days before the expected delivery. The employee may take nine months of maternity leave or up to 15 months of maternity leave for multiple births. Payment for maternity leave is 100% of the regular salary, paid by social security. Mothers can take an unpaid leave of up to three months any time before the child reaches age three.
Fathers can take seven days of paid paternity leave. Fathers may also take over any unused part of the maternity leave.
Mothers can take nine months of adoption leave for adopting a baby or 15 months for adopting more than one baby.
The following are reasons for taking seven days of leave, to which all employees are entitled: - When an employee gets married - For mourning - Taking a professional exam
Employers may terminate an employment contract if the business requires employee dismissal for not fulfilling work obligations, if the employee misbehaves, if the employee lacks knowledge, or if the employee breaks the rules. If an employer intends to dismiss an employee for the fault of the employee, the employee must first be warned of the possibility of termination.
Termination is prohibited for reasons of union membership, illness, pregnancy, filing a complaint, parental leave, leave for the care of a family member, taking authorized leave, military service, or for any other reason set in the employment contract or the law.
Employers may for absence without leave of three consecutive days or five non-consecutive days in one year, misuse of sick leave, intoxication, the violation of safety rules, having drugs or alcohol at work, theft, destruction of property, or the disclosure of confidential information.
Written notice must be given before dismissal with the reason for dismissal, the possibility of legal recourse, and the right to unemployment compensation.
For indefinite contracts, one month's notice is required. Two months of notice is required if the dismissal affects over 5% or 150 employees of the company.
Termination during probation requires a three-day notice.
The amount of severance is based on the duration of service with a company.
In the case of redundancy for business reasons, the employer owes employees severance payments based on their length of service. The basis is the average net salary in the last six months of employment, but not less than 50% of the average net salary per employee in North Macedonia in the month before dismissal.
One net salary for up to five years of employment.
Two and one-half net salaries for five to 10 years of employment.
Three and one-half net salaries for 10 to 15 years of employment.
Four and one-half net salaries for 15 to 20 years of employment.
Six net salaries for 20 to 25 years of employment.
Seven net salaries for over 25 years of employment.
Employees can take payment for unused annual leave upon termination.
Probation periods should not be more than four months.

Offering life insurance is not mandatory in this country, but providing these additional benefits can significantly enhance the financial security and peace of mind for employees. The Global Life Insurance offering provides flexible coverage levels ranging from $50,000 to $600,000, tailored to meet the diverse needs and budgets of the company and its employees. This benefit includes two options: The Basic Offering provides Life Insurance coverage. In the unfortunate event of an employee’s demise, their beneficiary will receive a payout equivalent to up to 6 times the employee’s annual salary. However, this compensation is capped at a maximum of the selected cover limit. This means that the payout will not exceed the cover limit applicable, regardless of the employee’s salary. The Comprehensive Offering at Remote combines Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), and Permanent Disability (PD) coverage. In cases of accidental death, dismemberment, or a permanent disability, the compensation is equivalent to up to 5 times the employee’s annual salary, subject to a predetermined limit. This compensation is capped at a maximum cover limit provided by Remote. The payout will not exceed the applicable cover limit, regardless of the employee’s salary. It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, insurance premium taxes may be applicable. This means taxes may be due to the company for the monthly premiums paid towards the life insurance coverage for employees. Additionally, life insurance benefits may be categorized as ‘Benefits in Kind’ (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums paid for the life insurance coverage might be counted as part of the employee’s taxable income according to the local tax laws. When life insurance benefits are offered, they must be provided equally to all employees in the respective country.
