Employer of Record (EOR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An EOR is a hiring model that allows foreign companies to employ people in Bosnia and Herzegovina without setting up a local company.

In practice, the EOR becomes the legal employer of your staff in BiH, while you keep full control of their day-to-day work. The EOR takes care of:

• employment contracts
• payroll and contributions
• taxes and compliance

• benefits and HR admin
