From a workbook to an electronic register – all about the process
According to a survey of the euphoria of the labor market in Sofia submerges
Practically
After June 1, 2025, the data that employers currently register in the employment books and submit to the NRA will be replaced by the so -called electronic labor recording, or in other words, employers will submit this data electronically in the newly created employment register. They will be submitted at any conclusion, amendment or termination of an employment relationship.
By June 1, 2026, current employers will have the task of inserting into the register the data from employees’ employment books, including those of previous jobs. After this action, when changing an employer, the new one will only have access to the data submitted by him, as well as to the data from previous employers, except for the information on the amount of salaries and the benefits paid. Thus, in practice, new employers will no longer know the amount of their employees’ salary in the previous ones.
After their formation, the work books should be returned to the persons and stored by them, as they remain an official certification document for the circumstances entered therein related to the employment of the persons for the periods before June 1, 2025.

Individuals will also access own data in the register. They will be available with a qualified electronic signature or personal identification code (PIC) of the NRA, with which the annual tax returns are generally submitted and which are issued free of charge in the offices of the revenue agency. When referring to the data, individuals will also see chronology when and by whom it is entered into their labor record. In persons under 18 who work, their parents, guardians, guardians will have access to their recording in the register.
With the changes, in practice, anyone who replaces their workplace after June 1, 2025 or is just beginning their work experience will not need to provide an employment record to their new employer or issue one. In other words, part of the Z generation, which is just entering the labor market, will never have a similar one.
New data
The time limits for entry of the data are retained – within three days of the conclusion or amendment and within seven days from the termination of the employment relationship.
However, the volume of data to be entered is increasing. The conclusion of an employment contract will already enter data on the beginning of the performance of the employment contract, the duration of working time and the agreed paid annual leave. In the case of changes in the employment contract, in addition to changes in the term, position and workplace, changes in the basic remuneration, the length of working time, the amount of the basic paid annual leave and the obtained messages received will also be registered.

Upon termination of employment, except the date of termination and the reason for termination, employers will also have to enter additional information about:
- the paid annual leave used for the year of termination of employment;
- The length of time that is recognized as work experience and the time that is not recognized;
- the date of payment of the benefits in the acquisition of the right to a pension for length of service and age, as well as for termination of employment due to illness;
- The data on the links at the time of termination of employment.
