Before you hire in Andorra

The Andorra cost & compliance picture, in full.

13th / mandatory bonus
No statutory 13th-month payment is mandated; some employers pay discretionary bonuses.
Notice period
Notice and severance depend on tenure and grounds for termination under the Labour Relations Law; unjustified dismissal carries compensation obligations.

Sick leave
Statutory or social-insurance sick pay typically applies

Statutory baseline vs market practice

Andorra's small economy is anchored in tourism, retail, finance and increasingly remote/tech roles, with Catalan as the official language and CET timezone; the labor pool is limited and often supplemented by cross-border workers from Spain and France.

Gracemark recommendation: Because Andorra has strict residency and work-permit rules and no simple non-resident employment route, an Employer of Record or local entity with CASS registration is typically required to hire compliantly.

The figures above are statutory baselines drawn from the sources listed below. Typical market practice in Andorra often sits above the statutory floor, and the right model depends on the role, salary band and engagement type.

What creates exposure in Andorra
  • Limited local talent pool requiring cross-border hiring and permit management
  • Annual minimum wage and salary threshold changes via BOPA decree
  • Mandatory CASS registration for any local employment relationship
  • Residency/work-permit quotas can restrict non-EU hires
