S'y retrouver dans le nouveau droit du travail est un élément essentiel de l'expansion internationale. Pour les entreprises qui recrutent au Belarus, il est essentiel de mettre en place un système de rémunération et un ensemble d’avantages sociaux compétitif et conforme pour attirer et retenir les meilleurs talents. Ce guide couvre les principales exigences légales que vous devez connaître.
Lois sur l'indemnisation au Belarus
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.
Avec l'accord de l'employé, la compensation monétaire des heures supplémentaires peut être remplacée par un congé payé en lieu et place.
Avantages sociaux prévus par la loi au Belarus
Pour assurer la conformité au Belarus, toutes les entreprises doivent fournir les avantages garantis par le gouvernement, tels qu'ils sont décrits dans le droit du travail du pays. Ces prestations obligatoires comprennent
Jours fériés au Belarus
Belarus observes nine non-working public holidays each year:
- Jan. 1-2: Jour de l'An
- Jan. 7: Noël orthodoxe
- Mars 8: Journée de la femme
- Mai 1: Fête du travail
- Mai 9: Journée de la Victoire
- Juillet 3: Fête de l'indépendance
- Nov. 7: Journée de la révolution d'octobre
- Déc. 25: Noël catholique
Congé annuel au 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.
Congé maladie au 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.
Congé de maternité et congé maternité ou paternité au 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.
Cotisations de sécurité sociale
Les employeurs et les employés contribuent au système de sécurité sociale du Belarus, qui finance les pensions et les prestations sociales.
- 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.
Prestations complémentaires & primes
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.
Naviguer dans l'emploi au Belarus avec un portage salarial (EOR)
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.
