The calculation of taxes and contributions for supplementary work is carried out in the same way as for regular work, with the same percentages applied to the gross salary.
HOW IS WORKING TIME ADJUSTED?
The additional work contract remains valid as long as your employment contract with the primary employer is active. If your main employment contract ends, the additional work contract also ceases to be valid.
Additional work is an excellent way to increase your income, but you must adhere to legal regulations. If you have full-time employment and want extra earnings, explore the possibilities and find a job that suits you!
