Employee Guide for Armenia

👋 Welcome to Toku. Toku is your Employer of Record (EOR) in Armenia. We employ you through the appropriate local Toku entity and manage the compliance, HR, payroll, and benefits administration connected to your employment. Your day-to-day work, goals, and role direction continue to come from the organization you support.

Your employment at a glance

📄 Your signed employment agreement governs your individual terms, including pay, working hours, probation, notice, and any custom arrangements. Mandatory local law also applies. If this guide and your agreement appear different, contact Toku before relying on the summary.

Pay schedule and payroll changes

You are normally paid monthly, on the last business day of the month. The standard monthly cutoff for payroll changes is generally the 10th, but the exact cutoff can vary by country and organization. Check the Toku: 2026 and 2027 Payroll Calendar and Deadlines or contact Toku before relying on a specific date.

You will receive a payslip for each payroll cycle showing your gross pay, required deductions, and net pay. Keep your bank, tax, and personal information current in Toku, and notify us promptly if anything changes.

Your employment terms and probation

• Toku issues a compliant local employment agreement for every hire through WorkCo Armenia.
• Probation may run up to 3 months. Full payroll, tax, and registration obligations apply from day one - there's no reduced compliance burden during the trial period.
• Either party may end the employment during probation; the employer must give 3 days' written notice.
• If the employee continues working after probation ends, employment continues automatically under the original agreement.

Working hours and overtime

Your normal working hours are stated in your signed employment agreement and may vary by role, schedule, or applicable collective agreement. Toku does not expect routine overtime. Do not work overtime or additional hours unless your manager has approved them in advance. Any overtime or additional-hours treatment follows your signed agreement and mandatory local law.

Leave entitlements

Unused annual leave may not be replaced with monetary compensation while the employee is still working - it must be taken.

ℹ️ Your employment agreement, Toku HRIS leave balance, and applicable local rules determine your exact entitlement. Contact Toku if the information shown in your account does not match your agreement or this guide.

Public holidays in 2026

Armenia has 12 non-working public holidays in 2026, including the 3-day New Year holiday spanning December 31 - January 2.

Statutory benefits

Included through statutory payroll and employment compliance: the mandatory funded pension for employees born on or after 1 January 1974, and mandatory universal health insurance for employees earning above AMD 200,000/month. Armenia doesn't require employers to provide private health coverage or additional insurance.

Additional Toku benefits

In Armenia, Toku's standard supplemental benefit is Remote Health by SafetyWing. Review 🌍 Global Coverage: Remote Health by SafetyWing for current availability, coverage, eligibility, enrollment, and support information.

Stablecoin payroll and token grants

Where permitted by local law and enabled for your organization, Toku can support token grant administration and allow you to elect to receive a portion of your net pay in stablecoins. Availability depends on your country, your organization's program, and your individual compensation arrangements. These options are not guaranteed components of every employment package.

If stablecoin payroll is available to you, see Toku: Stablecoin Payroll Set Up. For token grant questions, use the Toku: Contact our Team for Support! to reach the Token Grant Administration team.

Annual tax documents

Armenia uses a calendar tax year ending 31 December. If you need confirmation of your Toku earnings and tax withheld, email [email protected] with the tax year. We will arrange the income/tax statement and upload it to Documents once prepared. There is no fixed annual delivery date confirmed for this statement in our current guidance, so contact us before relying on a specific date. Your personal income declaration is a separate process through the State Revenue Committee; receiving a Toku statement does not submit that declaration for you. See the SRC income declaration guidance.

You retain access to your Toku documents after leaving. For a missing or incorrect employer-issued form, email [email protected] with your name, country, and tax year.

Leaving Toku: resigning

Giving notice

Send a formal resignation letter to Toku by uploading it to Documents in your Toku account or emailing [email protected]. Include your intended last working day, notify your manager, and follow the notice period and any local formalities in your signed employment agreement. Toku must receive formal notice as your legal employer; telling your manager alone is not sufficient.

Your offboarding documents

Toku sends your formal offboarding/termination documentation through DocuSign and uploads it to Documents in Toku. It sets out the applicable departure terms and final-pay arrangements. We do not send a separate personalized general offboarding email. Country-specific certificates and provider notices may arrive separately; complete any required actions in those communications.

Your resignation is supported by your written application and the employer's formal termination order. Toku coordinates these with the local payroll provider. You may also request an employment statement covering your duties, salary, taxes and mandatory payments, and performance evaluation. This is a request-based entitlement under Article 130 of the Armenian Labour Code.

Benefits and provider communications

Your benefits are managed by external providers. Check their emails and your provider account or app for coverage changes and any required action. Contact the provider directly to confirm the coverage end date, claims deadlines, and any continuation or transfer options. Review the benefits guide for the relevant provider; where you are enrolled in Remote Health, this is SafetyWing. Leaving employment does not automatically cancel accumulated pension savings. If you need help identifying the right contact, email [email protected].

Access after you leave

You will continue to have access to your Toku account, including payslips and documents. For help updating your email address, password, or 2FA, email [email protected]. You can also contact us if any part of your offboarding documentation or next steps is unclear.

How to get help

Toku is your employer and your first point of contact for employment support. For payroll, payslips, statutory deductions, or payroll tax documents, email [email protected]. For benefits support, email [email protected]. For leave, employment documents, immigration, or other employment matters, use Toku: Contact our Team for Support! to reach the right team.

Important

This guide is a general summary and does not replace your signed employment agreement, Toku policies, benefit plan documents, or applicable law. Your exact entitlements may vary based on your work location, tenure, role, collective agreement, or individual terms. Where there is a conflict, the applicable law and binding employment documents control.
