Under North Macedonian law, management agreements are primarily governed by the Labor Law. The Companies Law is relevant to the manager’s appointment, powers, mandate, and corporate status.
The dual framework requires a clear distinction between the manager’s employment relationship and corporate function. This matters especially in cases of expiry, removal, or termination of mandate. Within mandatory legal limits, these agreements let parties tailor remuneration and benefits. They also tailor working-time arrangements, performance incentives, and termination protection to the specific managerial role.
A well-drafted management agreement should therefore reflect North Macedonian labor and corporate-law requirements while balancing managerial autonomy, accountability, compliance obligations and protection of the company’s interests.
