Fixed-term contracts must be in writing and may not exceed 3 years.
For permanent contracts, it is best practice to put a strong, written employment contract in place in Burkina Faso, in the local language, which spells out the terms of the employee’s compensation, benefits, and termination requirements. An offer letter and employment contract in Burkina Faso should always state the salary and any compensation amounts in West African CFA francs rather than a foreign currency.
Female employees are generally entitled to 14 weeks of paid maternity leave. Both the employer and social security pay for the leave.
Male employees are generally entitled to 20 days of leave for events concerning their home life.
Probationary periods are based on the type of employee but may not exceed three months.
Termination of employment must be made in writing and include the reason for termination. Notice of termination must be given: 8 days for hourly workers, one month for regular workers, three months for executives, supervisors, technicians, and similar staff. If the termination is for anything other than gross negligence, theft, or intentional damage to company property, a severance payment must be made.
Group dismissals require a 30-day notice period.
Employees contribute 5.5% of their salary to social security; employers contribute 16%. Employers also pay a 3% payroll tax.
