Payroll & HR Administration

Ongoing HR management — contracts, leave, policies and employee lifecycle administration — coordinated with, not duplicating, your payroll compliance.

Managing Employees Is a Different Job Than Paying Them

Once someone’s hired, two distinct streams of work continue for as long as they’re employed. One is payroll compliance — payslips, social and health contribution filings — which our Monthly Accounting service handles. The other is HR administration itself: tracking leave, managing contract amendments, keeping policies current, documenting performance issues properly, and handling offboarding correctly when someone leaves. Both matter, and treating the second as an afterthought is how verbal agreements and undocumented decisions quietly become legal exposure.

Albania For Business Sh.p.k. provides ongoing HR administration for your Albanian team, coordinated directly with our Monthly Accounting service so contracts, leave and payroll stay aligned rather than managed by disconnected systems.

PAYROLL & HR ADMINISTRATION — STARTER

From 150 EUR / month
monthly fee

PACKAGE OF PAYROLL & HR ADMINISTRATION (STARTER) INCLUDES:

  • Employee records and contract management
  • Leave tracking and approval workflows
  • HR policy drafting and maintenance — employee handbook and related documents
  • Performance management support and documentation
  • Contract amendments and renewals
  • Termination and offboarding support
  • Coordination with Monthly Accounting for payroll processing
  • HR helpline access for day-to-day questions
Starter plan pricing for up to approximately 5 employees. Higher-headcount plans are set out in the fee schedule below. Payroll compliance filings (payslips, contribution submissions) are handled separately by our Monthly Accounting service.

Payroll & HR Administration vs. Monthly Accounting’s Payroll Processing

What It Covers
Payroll & HR Administration (this page) Contract management, leave tracking, policies, performance documentation, offboarding — the people-management side
Monthly Accounting’s payroll processing Payslips, social and health contribution filings — the compliance and filing side

Most clients use both together, coordinated as one system — we flag anything relevant between the two rather than you having to relay information between separate providers.

Choosing the Right Plan

Pricing scales with headcount, not with how much attention your team happens to need:

Plan Employees Monthly Fee
Starter up to 5 €150
Standard up to 15 €300
Growth up to 40 €500

Larger teams or multi-entity structures are quoted individually.

How It Works

  1. Onboarding — your existing employee records, contracts and policies are reviewed and brought into our system.
  2. Ongoing administration — leave, contract changes and day-to-day HR questions handled monthly.
  3. Policy review — HR policies and the employee handbook kept current as your team and needs grow.
  4. Issue support — performance documentation and dispute support as situations arise.
  5. Offboarding — termination and exit handled correctly when someone leaves.

What We Need From You

  • Your current employee count and any existing contracts or HR documentation.
  • Whether you already have HR policies in place, or need these built from scratch.
  • Whether payroll processing is already handled by us or needs to be coordinated with another provider.
  • Any pending HR issues — a performance concern, a planned termination — that need attention at onboarding.
  • Your growth plans, so we scope the right plan tier from the start.

Fee Schedule — Additional & Ongoing Services

Beyond the fixed package above, the following services are priced individually. Your adviser confirms an exact quotation once your structure, nationality and banking preference are known.

Payroll & HR Administration — Growth plan €500 / month

⚠ Practical note

Verbal leave approvals and undocumented performance conversations feel efficient in the moment, but they’re exactly what turns a straightforward termination into a genuine dispute later — with no written record to point to. Documenting HR decisions properly as they happen costs very little; reconstructing that record after a dispute has already started is far more expensive, and sometimes not possible at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Monthly Accounting handles payslips and social/health contribution filings — the compliance side. This service handles contracts, leave, policies, performance documentation and offboarding — the people-management side. Most clients use both together, coordinated as one system.

Yes — we support termination and offboarding, including ensuring the process is properly documented, notice periods are respected, and any severance entitlements are correctly calculated. Contentious terminations may also involve our Corporate Law or Contract Law team, depending on the specifics.

Yes — plans scale by headcount, from a Starter plan for small teams up to a Growth plan for larger ones, with custom pricing for bigger or multi-entity structures. We review plan fit periodically as your team grows.

Yes, either as part of onboarding into a plan or as a standalone service if you just need the handbook itself — see the fee schedule above.

We can run an HR compliance audit on your existing documentation and practices, flagging gaps against Albanian labour law requirements before they become a problem, rather than starting your HR administration from scratch.

We can coordinate with an existing global HR system, providing the Albania-specific compliance layer (contracts, leave rules, local policy requirements) that a generic international system typically won’t cover on its own.

Yes — the Starter plan covers small teams from your very first hire, so HR administration is in place from day one rather than something you set up only once the team grows.

New hires made through our Hiring Employees or Executive Search service flow directly into HR administration, so contracts, leave entitlements and records are already set up correctly from the employee’s first day, rather than reconstructed afterward.
