What does the abbreviation “payroll” mean?
Accounting firm “Elan Consulting” offers its clients competent services in the field of Labor Relations and Payroll (Payroll). This is an important part of the accounting activity, as it includes the management of employment contracts, the calculation of wages and taxes, as well as the processing of other relevant documents. Our goal is to provide complete and accurate information about the history and importance of payroll, as well as the function of the Personnel Department.
Payroll, abbreviation of “Labor and Wage“, is a term that encompasses all the processes and activities related to the management of human resources in an organization. In the past, before the development of modern technologies and software solutions, payroll management was associated with large administrative departments in any organization.
Personnel departments were responsible for the preparation of employment contracts, documents for changing labor relations, issuing leave orders and other similar tasks. They have been key to maintaining order and the proper conduct of labor relations in companies.
Another important component in payroll management is the department responsible for calculating time worked, wages, social security contributions and taxes. This department has played and continues to play a key role in the correct and accurate calculation of labor remuneration and related obligations to the state.
With the development of technology and the introduction of automated accounting systems, payroll functions have undergone a significant transformation. Automation and digitalization have greatly facilitated the processes of personnel management and payroll calculation, thereby reducing the need for large administrative departments.

Can I hire foreigners in my company who are not EU citizens and what are the different scenarios?
Yes, you can hire foreigners who are not citizens of the European Union (EU) to your company in Bulgaria. However, different rules and procedures apply depending on their nationality, status and the purpose for which they wish to work in Bulgaria. Some of the different hypotheses are:
- Citizens of EU countries or Switzerland: Citizens of EU Member States or Switzerland have free movement of labour and can work in Bulgaria without needing a work permit.
- Foreigners with a work permit:Citizens of non-EU countries and Switzerland must obtain a work permit before starting to work in Bulgaria. This permit is usually issued by the Employment Agency and is associated with specific conditions and period of work.
- Seasonal workers: Temporary and seasonal workers from non-EU countries may be issued a work permit in Bulgaria within certain sectors and periods.
- Highly qualified specialists: For foreigners who possess special qualifications or knowledge, a work permit may be issued for specific specialized employment.
- Investors and entrepreneurs: Foreigners who plan to invest or establish their own business in Bulgaria can obtain a work permit based on their entrepreneurial status.
- Students: Foreigners who are students in Bulgaria can work a certain amount of hours without a work permit, but there are restrictions on working hours.
Issues related to hiring foreigners are complex and can vary depending on the specific circumstances. Therefore, it is advisable to seek professional legal assistance or consultation from specialists from ELAN CONSULTING EOOD in order to familiarize yourself with all the requirements and procedures that must be followed when hiring foreigners in your company in Bulgaria.
Issuance of a personal identification number/national identity card to a foreign citizen (foreigner) and issuance of a work permit
Accounting firm “Elan Consulting” provides comprehensive support and advice on issues related to the employment of foreigners in Bulgaria. In this regard, one of the key aspects that our clients must take into account is the process of issuing a Unified Civil Number (EGN) or Personal Number of a Foreigner (PNH), as well as the registration of an address to obtain a work permit. This process involves several steps and depends on the legal status of the foreigner in the country. We at Elan Consulting are ready to provide our expertise to facilitate these procedures for our clients.
Issuance of LNC/Official number from the register of the NRA to a foreigner
- Issued by the Migration Directorate of the Ministry of Interior: The LNC to a foreigner is issued by the Migration Directorate of the Ministry of Interior and the subordinates and bodies for migration control. In each regional city in Bulgaria there is a Migration Sector of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for this activity.
- Special cases - temporary protection for Ukrainian citizens: In some cases, such as temporary protection for Ukrainian citizens, procedures can also be carried out by the State Agency for Refugees, as well as its units.
- Obtaining legal status of residence: It is important to note that the LNCH is issued after obtaining the legal status of residence in Bulgaria - be it a permit for long or long-term residence, international protection, refugee status or temporary protection.
- Submission of an application for international protection: Foreigners who have applied for international protection under the Asylum and Refugees Act may also be granted LNCH. In this case, the LNC is issued at the time of submission of the application.
- Issuance of LNCH by the NRA (the so-called official number from the NRA register): In the event that the foreigner does not yet have a LNCA and has not started a migration procedure, but wants to have an employment contract drawn up for him, the LNCA can be issued by the National Revenue Agency (NRA) as office number from the register of the NRA. To do this, visit the NRA counter and the foreigner must present a foreign passport.
Important!! Ythe construction of a job for a foreigner in Bulgaria without the appropriate permission from the Employment Agency is prohibited under the Law on Labor Migration and Labor Mobility and fines can reach 20,000 leva (just over 10,000 euros)! Therefore, it is essential that the employment contract is drawn up correctly and by a competent lawyer. We at Elan Consulting have the necessary expertise and experience to ensure compliance with all legal requirements and to ensure the proper accommodation of foreigners to work in Bulgaria.
Accounting firm “Elan Consulting” is always focused on providing accurate and up-to-date information to its clients regarding labor and migration procedures in Bulgaria. An important aspect of our consulting activity is the process of issuing a Unified Civil Number (UID) to foreigners, which is an important step in the settlement of employment relations with persons who do not have Bulgarian citizenship.
Issuing an EGN to a foreigner - is it possible at all?
Obtaining an EG for a foreigner is a process that is carried out through the Unified System of Civil Registration and Administrative Services (ESGRAON). This happens after the foreigner submits an application to the GRAO for entry in the population register by permanent addressvillage. It is important to note that the EGN is issued only to foreigners who have a permanent residence permit in Bulgaria,which means that temporary residents or those who are in the process of regulating their residence (that is, have applied for international or humanitarian protection or long-term residence) do not meet the criteria for obtaining an EGN.Also, the foreigner should have obtained the status permanently - that is, if he is still in the procedure, then the personal identification number cannot be issued. An EGN can also be issued to foreigners who have received refugee status, as it gives almost the same rights as Bulgarian citizens.
The process of issuing a Personal Number to a Foreigner (PNL) is also an important step in the context of labor relations and migration. The MLN is issued by the Migration Directorate of the Ministry of Interior and is necessary for foreigners who are in the process of settling their legal status in the country, including those who have applied for international protection.
At Elan Consulting we understand the complexity of these procedures and are ready to help our clients with the correct implementation of all requirements and steps to ensure compliance with Bulgarian legislation and facilitate the successful inclusion of foreigners in the Bulgarian labor market.
