Electronic register of employment to replace the existing labour booklets
Impact date: June 2025 Last year, the Labour Code (1986, as amended) was updated to regulate the replacement of the existing paper records of employment (labour booklets) with an electronic national register of employment records for employees in Bulgaria. The electronic registers should be operational by the competent state authorities by June 2025. The existing paper records of employment will be used until June 2025.
Employer implications/action needed Employers will need to prepare for electronic submission of individual employment data with the competent state authority. Employers will need to transpose employee data into digital format where this is required from the existing labour booklets during the transition period.
