Payroll in Luxembourg procedures

 
A payroll specialist in Luxembourg uses different platforms and software to calculate salaries in a company. This calculation includes the related taxes, paid by both the employee and the employer. Here are other important aspects about payroll in Luxembourg:
 
  • The work week in Luxembourg is 40 hours. Everything that exceeds is taken into account when paying the salary, in a percentage of 150%, if there is an agreement between the employee and the employer.
