A DIFFERENT WAY TO WORK
Working independently for an international company can be a practical arrangement. But managing a Serbian business, handling local tax obligations, and navigating banking and administrative requirements isn’t always the best long-term solution.
Independent entrepreneurs may face additional documentation requirements and challenges when managing local banking relationships.
Running a registered business means managing taxes, accounting, compliance, and administrative obligations.
Independent contracting and regular employment provide different statutory protections and benefits.
A LOCAL EMPLOYER, A CONTINUING RELATIONSHIP
Bridge EOR becomes your legal employer in Serbia while you continue working with your existing international company. Your employment terms and working arrangements are reviewed and agreed before the transition.
Formal employment under applicable Serbian labour legislation.
Monthly salary processing, payroll taxes, and statutory contributions.
Applicable statutory coverage and employment-related benefits.
Bridge EOR handles employment administration and payroll compliance.
Real people with local payroll, HR, and legal expertise.
Multiple eligible contractors working for the same international company can transition together.
A CONSIDERED PATH FORWARD
Tell us about your current contractor payment, entrepreneurial expenses, and the international company you work with.
Use our free calculator to explore three financial scenarios for transitioning to regular employment.
Once the arrangement is reviewed and agreed, Bridge EOR manages employment documentation, payroll setup, and ongoing administration.
All transitions are subject to employment eligibility, legal, tax, and immigration review where applicable.
YOUR PAYMENT. THREE POSSIBLE PATHS.

€139management fee / employee / month€189 per employee per month is the management fee for 1–5 individuals, not an all-inclusive employment cost. Statutory payroll, employer contributions and additional fees are separate. Team rates require the same international company or consolidated commercial agreement.
The compliance threshold is defined in Serbian payroll currency; at the illustrative 117.2 rate its EUR equivalent is €3,412.97. The calculator uses the configured threshold and your entered FX rate. No additional minimums, caps, subsidies or temporary incentives are applied to these special program fees. Prices exclude VAT where applicable. Standard EOR pricing elsewhere on this website is unchanged.

THOUGHTFUL ANSWERS, BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Potentially, yes. Bridge can review your current entrepreneurial arrangement and eligibility for employment in Serbia. The transition depends on the proposed role, documentation and any applicable tax or immigration requirements.
That is the aim of this program: Bridge becomes your local legal employer while you continue performing work for your existing international company. Employment terms and the company’s agreement must be reviewed and properly documented; identical contractor terms are not automatic.
Closure is not an automatic requirement we can determine from a calculator. Whether to maintain, suspend or close your business depends on your circumstances and ongoing obligations. Discuss the options with your tax adviser and our team before taking action.
An employment contract and regular payroll can provide a different set of supporting documents. Banks set their own acceptance, identification and compliance requirements. Bridge cannot guarantee an account or a banking decision.
Employment may be relevant to an application, depending on your circumstances. Residence and work authorization are subject to applicable requirements and decisions by the competent authorities. No permit or immigration outcome is guaranteed.
The result depends on your payment, entrepreneurial taxes and expenses, salary structure and the agreed employer budget. The three scenarios show both take-home and employer-cost changes. A higher employment cost or lower net income is shown neutrally, not described as a saving.
Yes, eligible foreign contractors can be reviewed together. Team management pricing applies when the individuals belong to the same international company or consolidated commercial agreement. Each person’s employment eligibility is still reviewed individually.
The management fee is included in the invoice to the international company, alongside payroll and the other applicable fees. Under a fixed-total-cost scenario it must fit within that company’s current budget, which can affect the resulting salary.
Timing depends on documentation, employment terms, company agreement and any required eligibility or immigration review. We discuss the next steps after understanding your situation rather than promising a fixed processing time.
No. These special rates are exclusively for eligible foreign nationals already working through Serbian entrepreneurial arrangements. They do not apply to Serbian citizens, unrelated new hires or existing EOR customers. Other employment needs can be discussed under Bridge’s standard services.
Yes. Share a personalized link to the financial assumptions and selected scenario. Names and employer identifiers are excluded. The employer can edit the assumptions and explore all three scenarios without creating an account.
Yes. Use Request a Formal Proposal to bring the scenario and estimated costs into our contact flow. Nothing is submitted automatically. You can review the message and send an email draft to our team; a formal quote follows an individual review.
