Staffing Firm Reacts to Change of Rules for Foreign Guest Workers in Hungary

• 6 May 2026 2:55 PM

Expected changes to rules on guest workers present "no significant risk" to the operation of Pensum Group, the staffing company said in an announcement on Tuesday.

Pensum noted that the incoming government has said it will temporarily suspend the issue of work permits to non-European Union nationals from June 1 and undertake a review of existing rules.

Pensum, which offers services in three countries, said the "vast majority" of its employees are Hungarians.

On its website, the company offers to place temporary workers, student workers, pensioners and labourers from non-EU countries.

Responding to a query by MTI, Pensum said it staffed, on average, 1,529 Hungarians and 674 foreign workers with partners each month in the first quarter.
