Understanding Albania’s Labor Laws and Compliance Requirements
Albanian labor laws focus on employee rights, with an emphasis on employment stability and social protection. Key compliance areas include:
Employment Contracts: Employment agreements should be in writing and specify the job position, compensation, and employment conditions as required by the Albanian Labor Code.
Working Hours and Overtime: The standard workweek is 40 hours, with overtime capped and regulated by the Labor Code (Source: Albanian Ministry of Finance and Economy).
Paid Leave and Public Holidays: Employees are entitled to annual paid leave (minimum of 20 days), public holidays, and maternity/paternity leave benefits.
Social Security and Health Contributions: Employers are required to contribute 15% of salaries to social security and 1.7% to health insurance (Source: General Directorate of Taxes).
Termination and Severance: Employers must provide just cause for terminations and, depending on tenure, may need to offer severance pay.
An EOR ensures compliance with these laws, reducing your liability and protecting your workforce.
