Important for employers and employees!

As of January 1, 2026, all labor remunerations, benefits, and other payments to workers and employees will be paid in euros, in accordance with the Law on the Introduction of the Euro in the Republic of Bulgaria.

All amounts, including those set in levs but unpaid as of the date of the change, will be recalculated at the official exchange rate, without rounding the rate itself.

Rounding is performed according to the established rules, with salaries being rounded in favor of the employee to ensure income protection during the transition to the euro.

Employers are obliged to apply the new provisions correctly and equally to everyone.

FTTU has already sent an official information letter to employers, with guidelines for the correct application of the law, in connection with reports received from our members and workers.

Important: If you believe your labor rights have been violated or that the law is not being respected, report it to us immediately.
