BDO Croatia

BDO Croatia offers payroll accounting and personnel administration as part of its business services outsourcing practice. The scope of the service is set by the client and can range from straightforward payroll processing through to complete digital personnel administration, individual queries, assessment of complex situations, and support during a tax audit.

Payroll work includes gross and net settlements, application of collective and works agreements, determination and registration of income tax, contribution statements and notifications to social insurance institutions, ongoing management and closing of payroll accounts, and monitoring of the minimum wage. The team also calculates variable pay components such as hourly wages, overtime, attendance and absence, working time accounts, bonuses, Sunday, holiday and night premiums, daily allowances and travel expenses, along with continued payment of wages, maternity pay contributions and short-time work.

Personnel administration covers setting up and changing employee data, company pension plans, capital-forming benefits, benefits in kind, employee participation, attachments and employer loans, travel expense handling, attestation, evaluation and controlling, and electronic long-term archiving for the full retention period. BDO also advises on wage tax, social security and employment law, supports employee secondment and expatriate arrangements, corresponds with authorities and institutions, provides payment orders electronically, and offers interface solutions so results can be fed into the client's own applications.

The firm positions itself as a partner in personnel management rather than only a payroll bureau, contributing its staff and experience to clients' processes and systems and reviewing them for optimisation and efficiency potential.
