Mandatory Benefits in North Macedonia

  • Employer must calculate, withhold from employees' gross salary, and remit compulsory social security contributions and personal income tax (employer-side contribution rate = 0%; total SSC rates withheld from the employee = 19.9% pension & disability, 7.5% health, 0.5% additional health/work-injury, 0.1% unemployment = 28%).
  • Paid annual leave: statutory minimum 20 working days and statutory maximum 26 working days; at least 12 days must be used each year; remaining days may carry over; unused leave is paid out on termination. Extensions up to the maximum are determined by collective agreement or individual contract; a flat +3 days applies for certain protected categories (workers over statutory age, workers with disabilities, parents of children with disabilities).
  • Statutory severance: reported as scenario-dependent (1–7 net monthly salaries depending on tenure, based on average net salary of preceding 6 months, with a floor reported at 50% of the national average net salary) — this severance figure is secondary-sourced and was not independently verified against the primary law in the provided text.
