The Bulgarian Parliament has adopted new legislation that
introduces important changes to the Labour Code, the Social
Insurance Code and the Health Insurance Act. These new legislative
provisions are effective from 1 August 2022 and include several
amendments.
Amendments to employment must be announced in advance
Employers must notify their employees in writing of any
amendments made to their employment relationship no later than on
the date when such amendments enter into force, as opposed to one
month after such amendments are made, which was the previously
applicable period.
Shorter trial period is introduced for short-term
employees
Fixed-term employment agreements that are shorter than one year
can include a trial period of up to one month.
