Payroll Cycle
Bi-monthly
Hire employees in Belarus. No entity needed.
Usually, to hire in Belarus, your business needs an entity. That means a local office, an address registered as a subsidiary, and an account with a local bank. All of this, plus navigating regional benefits, payroll, tax, and HR laws, can take months.
Belarus also treats contractors differently than full-time employees, so misclassifying a contractor could lead to fines. Deel lets you hire employees in Belarus quickly, easily, and compliantly. We even automate tax document collection, payroll, benefits, and more.

Women can start working full-time before the 3 years, but they will lose part of their allowance.
