Overtime work includes any work performed outside the regulated working hours established by the employment contract.

Overtime is paid with an increase agreed between the parties, but not less than the established minimum percentages above the basic remuneration.
Yes, in accordance with the Bulgarian labor legislation, the employee has the right to terminate his employment contract without notice if the employer has delayed the payment of wages for more than one month. According to the Labor Code, this constitutes a material breach of contractual obligations on the part of the employer, which gives grounds for the employee to be released from the employment relationship immediately, without having to comply with a notice period. It is important to note that in such circumstances, the worker may also be entitled to compensation for the termination of the employment contract, according to the conditions and procedures provided by law.
