Employment in Comoros

Besides agriculture and fishing, Comoros has a developing tourism sector, attracting visitors to the country due to its coastal beauty. With an increasing population and investments to boost the economy, the country is unlocking other sectorial opportunities for the labour force.

Employees are entitled to vacation, sick and parental leave. Regarding taxation for employees, it operates under the ‘Pay As You Earn’ (PAYE) system with tax rates varying from 0-30% depending on the income amount. Regarding termination, employers can end an employee’s job if they have a genuine reason with regards to their conduct or ability to work. Any termination without notice or before notice is provided must be compensated with the worker’s salary and related benefits. There are also other procedures to be followed after discussion with the Consultative Council of Labour and Employment (CCTE) about severance and redundancy wage.

At Africa HR Solutions, our specialists are well placed to manage all your Comoros employment outsourcing and payroll requirements. We also assist our clients with designing the most appropriate employee benefits scheme to help attract and retain the talent required to meet your business objectives, whilst taking into consideration in-country regulations and customary practices.
