An Employer of Record service provider offers a readily available HR platform, together with a fully operational and proven system to compliantly employ and payroll local national and expatriate staff across Africa, thereby minimising implementation time and reducing costs across the HR management function.
No need to build, buy, rent, or register a branch office in- country. Your Africa EOR represents your local entity, helping you avoid a time-consuming and financially costly process. In addition, there is no need for you to support additional HR, Finance, or Legal functions in-country. Outsourcing to an Africa EOR improves the availability of funds and cash flow, ultimately supporting your development and market expansion objectives, whilst being beneficial to your bottom line.
Outsourcing to an Africa EOR transfers the majority of compliance risks to the Employer of Record in relation to hiring, the correct classification of the workforce, contract drafting, payroll, statutory payments to the authorities, and mandatory employee benefits – all of which minimise the risks of penalties and legal disputes arising from non-compliance with local labour laws and regulatory practices. In addition, it minimises the risks and costs of testing a new market in Africa or implementing an expansion plan across several countries in Africa.
Your Africa Employer of Record takes care of all the above and more, and in significantly less time than a foreign company could. Through its existing local entities, its comprehensive skillset, and the local expertise of a dedicated team attending compliantly to all requirements, clients have access to a full-service partnership, which enables them to focus on their core activities and strategic objectives, minimising downtime and subsequent financial loss.
Outsourcing to an Employer of Record service provider offers international organisations expanding into Africa a safe, proven, and legally compliant solution. There is no need for clients to handle the burden of complex international employment regulations, nor bear the responsibility for compliance. Securing the expertise of an Africa EOR who is adept at navigating the continent’s ever-changing labour laws and regulatory practices provides the ultimate peace of mind.
Local nationals and expatriate employees benefit from the assurance that they’ll be paid accurately and on time. Knowing that they have the support of qualified and experienced local HR professionals allows employees to properly devote themselves to the execution of their professional duties.
