Der Umgang mit neuen Arbeitsrechten ist ein entscheidender Teil der Globale Expansion. Für Unternehmen, die in Belarus einstellen, ist die Schaffung eines wettbewerbsfähigen und gesetzeskonformen Vergütungs- und Leistungspakets unerlässlich, um Top-Talente anzuziehen und zu halten. Dieser Leitfaden behandelt die wichtigsten gesetzlichen Anforderungen, die Sie kennen sollten.
Belarusische Entschädigungsgesetze
All employee salaries must be paid in the national currency, the Belarusian ruble (BYN). As of January 1, 2026, the national minimum wage in Belarus is BYN 858 per month. This rate is set by the government and is subject to annual review.
As of January, 2026 Belarus uses a three-tier progressive scale for annual income:
- 13%: Applies to annual income up to BYN 350,000.
- 25%: Applies to the portion of income between BYN 350,000 and BYN 600,000.
- 30%: Applies to the portion of income exceeding BYN 600,000.
The standard workweek is 40 hours, typically structured as 8 hours per day over 5 days. Any work beyond these hours is considered overtime and is strictly regulated. Overtime work cannot exceed 12 hours per week or 180 hours per year. Compensation for overtime is mandated at a premium rate:
- First 2 hours of overtime: At least 1.5 times the employee’s standard hourly rate.
- Subsequent hours: At least 2 times the employee’s standard hourly rate.
Mit Zustimmung des Mitarbeiters kann die finanzielle Entschädigung für Überstunden durch bezahlte arbeitsfreie Zeiten ersetzt werden.
Gesetzliche Leistungen in Belarus
Um die Einhaltung der Vorschriften in Belarus sicherzustellen, müssen alle Unternehmen die von der Regierung garantierten Leistungen gewähren, wie sie in den Arbeitsrecht des Landes festgelegt sind. Zu diesen obligatorischen Leistungen gehören:
Feiertage in Belarus
Belarus observes nine non-working public holidays each year:
- Januar 1-2: Neujahrstag
- Januar 7: Orthodoxes Weihnachtsfest
- März 8: Frauentag
- Mai 1: Tag der Arbeit
- Mai 9: Tag des Sieges
- Juli 3: Unabhängigkeitstag
- November 7: Tag der Oktoberrevolution
- Dez. 25: Katholisches Weihnachtsfest
Jahresurlaub in Belarus
The statutory minimum for annual paid leave is 24 calendar days, which is separate from and does not include the public holidays. Certain categories of employees may be entitled to extended leave based on their profession or working conditions.
Genesungsurlaub in Belarus
Employees are entitled to paid sick leave, which is covered by the state’s Social Protection Fund. The benefit is paid at 80% of the employee’s average earnings for the first 12 days of illness and at 100% for any subsequent days.
Mutterschafts- und Elternurlaub in Belarus
Female employees are entitled to 126 calendar days of paid maternity leave, which is extended to 140 calendar days in case of medical complications or the birth of two or more children.
After the paid maternity leave, a parent can take up to three years of unpaid parental leave until the child reaches the age of three. The employee’s job is legally protected and must be secured for them upon their return.
Beiträge zur sozialen Sicherheit
Sowohl Arbeitgeber als auch Mitarbeiter zahlen zum belarussischen Sozialversicherungssystem bei, das Renten und Sozialleistungen finanziert.
- Employer contribution: 34% of the employee’s gross salary to the Social Protection Fund (FSZN) for pension and social insurance. An additional mandatory accident insurance premium of approximately 0.6% is also required.
- Employee contribution: 1% of their gross salary to the pension fund.
Zusatzleistungen und Boni
While not legally required, a 13th-month bonus is a customary and widely expected part of compensation in Belarus. To remain competitive, many companies also offer supplemental benefits like private health insurance, wellness programs, or additional professional development opportunities.
Mit einem Employer of Record durch eine Belarussische Beschäftigung navigieren
Managing compensation and benefits in a new country requires deep local expertise. Companies expanding to Belarus traditionally had to establish a subsidiary, a process that can take months and delay hiring. However, partnering with a Belarus employer of record offers a faster, more compliant alternative.
