It is legally required to put a written employment contract in place in Guinea, 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 Guinea should always state the salary and any compensation amounts in Guinean francs rather than a foreign currency.
