Payroll Outsourcing in Ghana

Ghana's Economy

Ghana experienced a recession for the first time in 38 years, faced with the spillover effects of the Covid-19 pandemic that affected the country’s second and third quarters of 2020. After the ending of lockdown, the economy and business perspectives improved, whereby some sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and tradable services recorded strong recoveries. To minimise the impact of the pandemic on households and businesses, Ghana leveraged the Coronavirus Alleviation Plan (CAP) and the medium-term COVID-19 Alleviation and Revitalisation of Enterprises Support (CARES) program.

Employment in Ghana

Employees are entitled to vacation, sick and parental leaves. A written employment agreement is compulsory in Ghana, which has to outline all fundamental details related to the recruit. As regards to taxation, employers pay 13% of salaries to social security whereas employees contribute 5.5%. Basic health services are offered to all employees. As far as termination is concerned, workers who are employed on a weekly basis have seven days’ notice, those with an agreement of fewer than three years have two weeks’ notice and those with long-term contracts are entitled to one month’s notice. However, if an agreement has an “at-will” clause, then no notice is required.

Partnering with Africa HR Solutions will enable to focus more on your business strategy with peace of mind, while our in-country experts manage your employment outsourcing initiatives including devising a compensation package that attract the brightest talent.
