Andorra is a principality in the eastern Pyrenees, wedged between Spain and France. Andorra la Vella is its capital, and Catalan is the official language. It uses the euro under a monetary agreement rather than as a eurozone member. Some 82,900 people live in the country, which turned over $4.5 billion in 2025, according to World Bank figures. Tourism and skiing, retail, and banking drive the economy, while the government courts digital services. Crucially for any employer of record Andorra plan, the country is not an EU member.
Andorra is one of the few countries this small with real in-country providers selling EOR in Andorra under that name. 3 of the 10 here are Andorran firms. Each entry below names what the firm sells and the question I’d ask. None of the 10 publish a rate.
Hiring in Andorra: What the Rules Demand
The labor market is tiny, highly educated, and multilingual, concentrated in and around the capital, with services dominating employment. The constraint is real: for specialized roles, the domestic pool runs out quickly, and companies routinely recruit from Catalonia and southern France. That is why an Andorra employer of record arrangement appeals. A foreign company can employ staff through a partner without registering its own Societat Limitada or Societat Anònima.
An employer of record is a third-party legal entity that hires staff on a foreign client’s behalf and takes on Andorran employment obligations. That entity runs the local payroll, while the client keeps directing the work. Locally, that means a written contract in Catalan with pay in euros. Add registration with the Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social (CASS), with contributions filed monthly. Then impost sobre la renda de les persones físiques (IRPF) withheld at source, statutory leave, and an immigration authorization under the annual quota. Every EOR Andorra engagement must cover all of it.
Below are 10 providers in a single list, rather than sorted into tiers. 3 are Andorran companies, and the other 7 are international platforms covering the country from a wider footprint. Genuine in-country options are unusual at this size. Read each block against the months an incorporation would otherwise cost you.
INSIGHT: What does an Andorran employer actually pay on top of salary?
The employer load is modest by European standards, which is much of the appeal. The headline 22% hides a split worth knowing before you model anything.
- The CASS takes 22% of the global salary in total, and the halves are uneven. The worker pays 6.5%, split into 3% general and 3.5% retirement. The employer pays 15.5%, being 7% general and 8.5% retirement.
- The employer must deduct the worker’s 6.5% at source, and no agreement to the contrary is permitted. Declaration and payment run monthly in arrears, between the 1st and the 15th.
- IRPF is a flat 10%, withheld by the employer. The first EUR 24,000 is exempt through the personal minimum reduction, rising to EUR 40,000 where a spouse or stable partner lives with the taxpayer.
- The minimum wage rose 2.8% to EUR 9.05 an hour from 1 July 2026. The decree puts that at EUR 1,568.67 a month for a 40-hour week. Paid leave runs to 30 calendar days a year, or 22 working days.

What Is the Best EOR Option in Andorra?
Take the Andorran case first. 3 of the 10 are Andorran companies that draft in Catalan as a matter of course. They deal directly with the CASS and the immigration service, and know how the quota works in practice. When contract language is a legal requirement, and the permit is capped by decree, that is not a soft advantage. Buying Andorra EOR cover from a firm inside the country is a different purchase from buying it off a global list.
The international platforms sell consistency instead: identical paperwork and 1 standard wherever the next hire lands. That earns its keep when Andorra is a single line in a bigger program. The models underneath differ more than the marketing suggests. One platform says it hires through its own Andorran entity, another says onboarding runs through subsidiaries and partners, and a third is openly partner-based. Ask which applies to your Andorra EOR arrangement before signing.
The checks buyers waive through are the ones that decide this. Which legal entity signs, and who writes the Catalan text? Whose quota allocation does the authorization come out of? Who appears at the CASS as employer? Put all 4 in writing before you shortlist. With nobody publishing a rate, a quote is the only comparable number.
INSIGHT: Why the immigration quota, not the paperwork, sets your start date
Andorra sits outside the EU, so nobody arrives with free movement. Work authorizations are capped by quotas the government sets by decree.
- The Government fixes the quotas periodically by regulation under articles 5 and 23 of Llei 9/2012. Each one is published in the Butlletí Oficial del Principat d’Andorra (BOPA) after review by the Consell Econòmic i Social.
- Decret 159/2026 approved a contingent of up to 800 residence-and-work and frontier-work authorizations running to 31 October 2026. Grants made under 2 earlier decrees that year come out of it.
- A frontier worker authorization is its own category inside that quota. It is the route for somebody who keeps living over the border in Spain or France.
- Contingents get used up and topped up. More than 10 quota regulations were published during 2026 alone, one noting that the previous allocation had run out some time earlier. Andorrans and legal residents are prioritized by law.

10 Providers Offering Andorra EOR Services
I reviewed 10 providers with a live site and a stated Employer of Record service covering the country. I measured each on euro payroll, CASS registration and monthly filing, Catalan-language contracting, immigration capability under the quota, dismissal handling, and pricing transparency. This list is unusual, and it’s worth saying plainly. For a country this size, having in-country firms that sell employer of record in Andorra by name is rare. 1 of the 3 Andorran companies is built entirely around the service. The other 7 reach the country from a wider footprint, and not 1 of the 10 publishes a rate.
Providers appear in A-to-Z order. The sequence says nothing about quality, preference, or ranking.

INSIGHT: Andorran firm or international platform: which fits your hire?
Andorra is one of the few small markets where the in-country option genuinely competes. The choice turns on how many other countries sit on the plan.
- 3 of the 10 are Andorran companies. One is built solely around EOR, one is a professional services firm within an international network, and one is an HR practice pairing recruitment with employment.
- The other 7 are international platforms covering the country from a wider footprint, able to extend the same arrangement across many other markets.
- Language is the sharpest test to put to any platform. Article 23 of Llei 6/2024 obliges parties to contract in Catalan and to receive employment contracts in it, so ask who drafts yours.
- Either route avoids incorporation, which would otherwise bring company registration, CASS employer registration, and ongoing filings from the first month.
Where the shortlist runs wider than the Pyrenees, my Spain EOR guide covers the market most Andorran employers actually recruit from. The other border and the other half of the co-principality leads to the employer of record in France page. For the closest structural parallel anywhere on this site, Liechtenstein EOR services cover the other microstate running a quota. Proximity is not equivalence, though. Weighing EOR in Andorra against a candidate 20 minutes over the border still means a cross-border hire with its own authorization to win.
What to Know About EOR Andorra: FAQs
Which labor rules matter most when hiring in Andorra?
The governing instrument is Llei 31/2018, del 6 de desembre, de relacions laborals, which replaced the 2008 Codi de relacions laborals. It was amended in March 2026 to strengthen collective representation, and it requires every employment contract to be in writing. Paid leave runs to 30 calendar days a year, or 22 working days, and the ordinary week is 40 hours.
Does an employment contract have to be in Catalan?
Yes, and the rule sits in the language law rather than the labor code. Article 23 of Llei 6/2024 obliges any interested party to contract in Catalan and to receive employment contracts in it, with pay in euros. Where the documents come from a non-Andorran company, the law is satisfied by supplying a translation. A clause making the original language prevail in case of any discrepancy remains valid, unless the translation is a sworn one.
How do CASS contributions and income tax work?
The employer registers the worker with the CASS from the start of the relationship, then declares and pays monthly between the 1st and the 15th. The worker contributes 6.5% and the employer 15.5%, calculated on the global salary including benefits in kind. IRPF is separate: the employer withholds a flat 10%, with the first EUR 24,000 covered by the personal exempt minimum.
Do EU nationals need a work permit in Andorra?
Yes. Andorra is not an EU member, so free movement does not apply, and a Spanish or French candidate needs authorization like anyone else. Work and residence authorizations are capped by quotas the government sets by decree and publishes in the BOPA. A frontier worker route exists for people who keep living over the border, and it sits inside the same quota.
How long does it take to onboard someone in Andorra?
It depends almost entirely on whether the candidate already holds an authorization. Somebody who has one can start on a normal payroll timetable. Somebody who needs a fresh allocation waits on the quota, which is finite and periodically exhausted before being topped up. Treat any onboarding window a provider quotes as a vendor claim.
How do I choose between these providers?
Begin with the entity: does the provider own an Andorran company, or borrow one? Next, establish who writes the Catalan contract. Look for documented CASS registration and filing rather than a general compliance claim, immigration capability against the quota, and sector experience. Compare the quotes last, broken out by fee, pass-through, and immigration cost.
