We can manage both EOR and payroll-only workers under a single agreement. This allows for unified reporting, one point of contact, and a smoother operational process across your African workforce.
Our team includes French-speaking professionals and we fully support payroll and HR processes in Francophone Africa, including Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Morocco, and DRC.
We manage the process in line with local laws; ensuring the correct notice periods, documentation, and severance. We also advise you beforehand on risks, costs, and timelines.

At Africa HR Solutions, we provide tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of your business when operating in Africa.
Africa HR Solutions provides a comprehensive range of employee benefits, including health insurance, dental and vision care, life insurance and ancillary services to ensure the well-being and security of your workforce. Does Africa HR Solutions offer services other than PEO, EOR, and payroll? In addition to core HR services, we offer ancillary services such as car rental, first accommodation, and access to local pension funds. These services are designed to support your employees’ needs beyond the workplace.
In select countries, we have the capability to onboard an employee within just one week, enabling you to start operations swiftly and efficiently. In all other countries across Africa, we can ensure that your new employees are onboarded within weeks, as opposed to months through more traditional routes.
Once you have subscribed to one of our offers, be it our EOR, PEO, or payroll solution, we offer individual client support. This means that you will not be talking to a chatbot nor be redirected to a call centre. Instead, you will be in direct contact with one of our consultants, client leads, or even our Head of Client Relationship.
Yes, we provide comprehensive support for remote employees, including payroll, benefits administration, and compliance with local regulations. Our services ensure remote employees are managed effectively and equitably.
A PEO or Professional Employer Organisation is a company that provides extensive HR and Payroll outsourcing services for companies seeking to expand in foreign countries.
In Africa HR Solutions’ case, we not only provide HR & Payroll assistance, but we also help forge employee contracts and onboard them compliantly in 46+ countries across Africa.
At Africa HR Solutions, our PEO arrangement is designed to create a seamless co-employment relationship between us, the client, and the worksite employees. Here’s how it works:
Co-Employment Relationship: In this arrangement, a co-employment relationship is established, ensuring that both Africa HR Solutions and the client company share an employment relationship with the worker.
Shared Responsibilities: We collaborate closely with the client company to allocate responsibilities and liabilities effectively. While the client company focuses on core business functions like product development, production, operations, marketing, sales, and service, Africa HR Solutions assumes various employment-related responsibilities.
Responsibilities Assumed by Africa HR Solutions: We take on the critical aspects of employment management, including risk management, human resource management, and payroll and employee tax compliance. This allows the client company to concentrate on its core competencies.
Compliance: Africa HR Solutions and the client jointly ensure compliance with employment laws and regulations. We work together to navigate the complex landscape of employment law to protect the interests of both parties.
Comprehensive HR and Benefit Packages: As co-employers, Africa HR Solutions often provides a comprehensive human resource and benefits package for worksite employees. This includes benefits such as healthcare, retirement plans, and more, enhancing the overall employment experience for the workforce.
With Africa HR Solutions as your PEO partner, you retain ownership of your company and full control over its operations.
We will simply help streamline your HR functions and the onboarding process for your new hires.
While both help companies expand without setting up an entity, an EOR (Employer of Record) becomes the legal employer and assumes full compliance responsibility. A PEO is more of a co-employment model, typically used when the company already has a legal presence in-country. Africa HR Solutions offers both depending on your needs.
Companies of all sizes, from small businesses to SMEs and Fortune 500 corporations, can leverage Africa HR Solutions to streamline HR, payroll, and compliance functions when expanding into Africa.
