Life Insurance

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.

Basic

Life Insurance

Cover Level: Options ranging from $50,000 to $600,000

  • Provides financial protection and security for beneficiaries after the death of an insured team member.

  • In the unfortunate event of a team member’s demise, beneficiary compensation cannot exceed 6 times the team member’s annual salary or the chosen cover level (whichever is lower).

  • Example: See help article for details

  • Compensation cannot exceed 5 times the team member's annual salary or the chosen cover level (whichever is lower). The exact payout varies depending on the type of injury sustained, as specified in the Accidental Dismemberment Table.

Permanent Disability

  • Designed to offer financial support to insured team members who suffer from either permanent and total or permanent and partial disabilities as a result of an accident or illness.

  • Compensation cannot exceed 5 times the team member's annual salary or the chosen cover level (whichever is lower). The insurance provider assesses the extent of the permanent disability to determine the final compensation:

  • Disabilities below 33.33%: No compensation

  • Disabilities between 33.33% and 66.67%: Compensation calculated as a percentage of the capped amount

  • Permanent disabilities exceeding 66.67%: Full capped compensation amount

The advanced matching service finds each employee the right therapist within 48 hours, boasting a 98% success rate. Employees receive a personal wellbeing profile with tailored recommendations and information to track progress. The platform also offers a curated self-guided content library with audio mindfulness and meditation sessions, guided yoga videos, talks, podcasts on workplace wellbeing, and micro-learning content series for managers. Additionally, there are 24/7 mental health helplines for immediate support when an employee is struggling. Mental health program benefits may be offered to the employees from among 5 different plans. Offering mental health benefits is optional, but it can greatly enhance employee well-being and productivity. It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, mental health benefits may be categorized as ‘Benefits in Kind’ (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums paid for the benefit might be counted as part of the employee’s taxable income according to the local tax laws. When mental health benefits are offered, they must be provided equally to all employees in the respective country.

Employer of record in Hungary

Our employer of record (EOR) service enables you to hire, manage, and pay top talent in Hungary with speed and simplicity.

What is an EOR — and how does it work?

Remote’s EOR allows your company to legally hire employees in Hungary without having to set up a local legal entity. On paper, Remote is the official employer, and we handle compliance, payroll, benefits (including equity), and other HR processes — but you maintain full control over the hire’s day-to-day management and work responsibilities.

Who should consider using an EOR in Hungary?

An EOR may be ideal if your company:

  • Needs to hire employees in Hungary but doesn’t want to establish a legal entity

  • Is testing local markets before committing to a full business expansion

  • Wants to ensure full compliance with local employment laws and tax requirements

  • Needs a fast, cost-effective way to onboard employees in Hungary

  • Needs a temporary hiring solution before establishing a legal entity

Why use Remote’s EOR in Hungary?

If your company wants to hire talent in Hungary but doesn't have a legal entity there, our EOR provides a fully compliant and efficient solution. Hungary has strict employment and payroll tax laws, and our EOR service ensures you meet these legal obligations while enabling you to grow quickly.

Key benefits of hiring through our EOR in Hungary include:

  • Faster market entry. You can hire talent quickly, without having to wait months to establish a local entity.

  • Full compliance with local employment laws. Avoid the legal risks associated with non-compliance and misclassification.

  • Simplified payroll management. We automate payroll tax calculations and ensure you are fully compliant with all withholding obligations, even when laws change.

  • Lower costs. Setting up a legal entity in Hungary can be costly and time-consuming. An EOR eliminates the need for entity registration, reducing overhead expenses.

  • Fewer resources required. With HR, payroll, and compliance managed by the EOR, your company can concentrate on scaling operations and assigning your resources elsewhere.

It’s also crucial to note that, at Remote, we own our own legal entity in Hungary. As a result, we don’t need to rely on third parties, which can incur delays and extra costs, and result in a negative employee experience. All our EOR services — including the dedicated support of our local specialists — are provided in-house.
