Benefits Guide
Employing in Croatia
The Croatian Labor Act is the definitive authority on issues regarding employee protections, workers’ rights, and generally all labor relations for Croatia’s workforce of 1.7 million. Employees in Croatia enjoy protections against discrimination based on age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and race.
Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Croatia.

The minimum wage in Croatia is EUR 970 per month, based on a standard 40-hour workweek. This rate is effective starting January 1, 2025.

We can help you get a new employee started in Croatia fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 4 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Croatia, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Croatia may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
