Do mandatory allowances exist in Hungary?

In Hungary, allowances are generally not mandatory, but they may be offered as part of an employee's compensation package, depending on the employer's policies and the specific terms of the employment agreement.


Some allowances, such as voluntary pension fund additions, are commonly provided by employers as a benefit to help employees plan for their retirement, but these are not required by law. Employers may also offer other types of allowances, such as for travel, meal expenses, or performance-related bonuses, though these are typically discretionary and based on company practices.


While allowances are not a legal obligation in Hungary, they can be a valuable part of an overall benefits package and are often used by employers to attract and retain talent. If you have questions about the specific allowances available to you, please reach out to the HR team for more information.
