Employing in Armenia

Armenia’s labour laws provide considerable protections for workers in the country. Employers over a certain size may not pay workers in cash, and workweeks typically cannot exceed 48 hours per week, including lunch and breaks. Employees are generally protected against abrupt termination (Armenia is not an “at-will” employment country), and there are special rules that apply for layoffs of multiple people. Companies should consult an experienced partner when drafting employment contracts.

To employ workers in Armenia, contact Remote to learn more about your options.

Minimum Wage

In Armenia, the minimum wage is 75,000 AMD per month.

Payroll Cycle

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

Onboarding

We can help you get a new employee started in Armenia fast. 

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.
