The Slovak Republic (Slovenskà Republika) is a Central parliamentary democracy, famous for its breathtaking mountainous terrain and ancient towns with rich history.

Slovakia combines a free market economy with a strong social security system into one of the most equitable countries in Europe. Quality of life in Slovakia is strong thanks to universal healthcare, free education, and generous work-life benefits for its workforce of 2.8 million.

Grow your team in Slovakia with Remote

Looking to employ workers in Slovakia? Companies hiring in Slovakia must either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider, usually one that provides employer of record services.

Remote can employ your team in Slovakia on your behalf through our local legal entity in the country and handle payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance for your Slovakia team. You can also pay contractors now in Slovakia with Remote.

Risks of misclassification

Slovakia, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Slovakia may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.

Employing in Slovakia

The Slovak Labour Code of 2001 is the principal statute guiding employment relations, including workers’ rights and entitlements across Slovakia’s eight regions.

Employees in Slovakia 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 the 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 Slovakia.

Minimum Wage

The Slovakian minimum wage is EUR 750 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 Time

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