PayDD simplifies Armenian payroll and Employer of Record (EOR) services, ensuring full compliance for your team. We manage all local payments in Armenian Dram (AMD) via Bank Transfer or SWIFT, but crucially, our platform offers T+0 instant settlement for contractor fees—bypassing the 3-5 day delays of traditional SWIFT. We handle employer tax obligations, estimated at 10-20%, and provide AI-powered KYC in just 2 hours. From $299 per person per month, secure your Armenian operations with speed, transparency, and local expertise.

Note: The above describes Armenia's regulatory environment. PayDD is a cross-border payment platform and does not act as employer or manage tax filings in Armenia.

Armenia Payroll Compliance Guide — Compliance Details

In Armenia, payroll compliance is governed by the Labor Code and the State Revenue Committee (SRC). Employers must contribute to state social security and pension funds at a rate of approximately 10-20% of gross salary, with standard payroll cycles being monthly. A key risk for foreign companies is misclassifying employees versus contractors, leading to significant penalties and back-tax liabilities. We ensure correct classification, timely SRC filings, and accurate payment of all mandatory contributions, fully protecting your business from regulatory exposure.

Note: PayDD provides payment disbursement services in Armenia. Employment compliance and local tax obligations remain the responsibility of the hiring company.
