Why Use a PEO Solution in Africa?

If you are looking to establish or expand your activity in Africa, but you do not have an established entity in your target destination/s, a PEO solution can enable you to proceed with launching your operations. Outsourcing to a specialist Professional Employment Organisation in Africa allows you to transfer the heavy burden of dealing with individual country complexities, the whole process of hiring employees, onboarding them and managing their payroll – all in compliance with local legislation – to an experienced service provider. As the Africa PEO expert, we have been demonstrating the efficacy of our model over the past 10 years. Our PEO solution in Africa extends across 40+ countries and over 20 industries.

Why should you burden your organisation’s distant teams with additional duties such as local entity registration, hiring human resources and fulfilling the respective payroll functions when you can simply outsource these critical functions to a reputable and trusted Africa PEO with deep local expertise that would save you the hassle, money, time and energy involved in the process?

Key Benefits of PEO

No need to register your own entity in country: You gain faster entry.

Engaging a specialist Africa PEO with established operation and entities across Africa allows you to skip the costly, complex and arduous process of incorporating a local entity in territories where the legislation and customary labour-related practices are foreign to you. In addition to the time and cost savings, transferring the management and execution of non-revenue generating activities to a trusted Professional Employment Organisation in Africa provides the ultimate peace of mind.

Your team can be operational immediately: Your activities in Africa can commence sooner.

Outsourcing to a Professional Employment Organisation in Africa is the ideal solution if you would like to get your team up and running in-country as soon as possible, in a cost-effective way. Your Africa PEO provider hires the workforce you require in a legally compliant manner, in whatever number you may need, and the employees work exclusively for your organisation on a day-to-day basis.

An expert Africa PEO also carries out all payroll duties: You secure an integrated solution.

Your Professional Employment Organisation provider in Africa should have full capabilities to deliver your team’s respective payrolls in-country, together with the related administrative and statutory compliance tasks. This reduces payroll processing costs considerably and, by engaging a specialist Africa PEO with a track record operating within the constraints of local labour laws and customary practices, together with cross-border payments and local currency transfer capabilities, ensures compliance as well as accurate and timely payments.

Compliance and risk mitigation: Ensuring appropriate legal responsibility.

A Professional Employment Organisation with wide coverage across the continent of Africa is an expert at operating within differing legal environments that each have their own complexities in terms of employment law and compliance regulations. As a thought leader that is knowledgeable in local legislation, an Africa PEO acts accordingly when updates are promulgated to ensure that the payroll management remains compliant with national labour laws and the associated regulatory frameworks, as well as suggesting best practices that may be relevant to a client’s specific industry or activity. Engaging the services of an Africa PEO ultimately eliminates the risks of regulatory non-compliance and penalties in a foreign country that can cause severe reputational damage for the client’s group.

Economies of scale: Leveraging volumes for your benefit.

An established Professional Employment Organisation in Africa would have a large portfolio of employees across multiple countries who are being serviced for multinational organisations. By leveraging this volume, established Africa PEO providers are able to negotiate comprehensive employee benefit packages at cost-effective rates, including insurance coverage, pension funds, telecoms services, motor vehicles leases and IT equipment purchases or leases. Providing access to leading employee benefits significantly enhances the motivation of local teams and provides the tools for successful performance.

When to use an Africa PEO Service Provider

Professional Employment Organisation (PEO) Services in Africa

When time is of the essence and you need to launch operations quickly.

When expanding into a new African territory, one of the most arduous and stressful challenges for a multinational organisation, whether a commercial business or NGO, is fully understanding the specific countries’ labour legislation, payroll regulations, mandatory and non-mandatory benefits, compliance exigencies and customary practices with regards to HR management. An Africa Professional Employment Organisation specialises in all these areas on a daily basis and also alleviates the need to establish and register your own entity in-country in order to launch your operations.

When you need your teams to be up and running as soon as possible, employed and paid in a legally compliant manner.

An Africa PEO fulfils all legal employer obligations in-country and is able to hire and onboard the temporary or permanent employees that your organisation requires in-country in significantly less time than a foreign organisation could. Outsourcing to a specialist Professional Employment Organisation in Africa also ensures absolute compliance with local labour law and regulatory frameworks, which is difficult to grasp without the appropriate local expertise.

When you wish to offer your resources operating in Africa more than the mandatory benefits.

An established Professional Employment Organisation in Africa will ensure that all mandatory employee benefits are included, but is also able to extend beyond the bare minimum when clients wish to offer additional benefits to their workforce, either as an incentive or to align with standard group benefits that apply to all their global employees in accordance with existing corporate policies. Additional benefits may include comprehensive health insurance coverage, travel insurance, contribution to pension funds as well as other fringe benefits.

When you need to deploy expatriate staff in Africa, make sure they are happy to be there.

An experienced Professional Employment Organisation in Africa has full capabilities to deliver end-to-end immigration support services on behalf of its multinational clientele. Obtaining work permits and resident permits for dependants (if applicable) can be a stressful process but, if approached correctly and in a seamless manner, can help motivate expatriate staff and ensure that their new employment begins on the right note. Deploying expatriate staff to work in Africa is already a costly process, but engaging the services of an African PEO with a track record in immigration support provides transparency and helps eliminate unforeseen expenses by diligently adhering to all required processes in-country.

When flexibility is key.

A reputable Africa PEO provider not only facilitates hiring of staff, but also takes the lead on reassignments and terminations of contracts. In particular, an Africa Professional Employment Organisation is well placed to assist when operating and economic environments change and there is accordingly a need to rapidly amend employment contracts, adjust salaries, redeploy staff and/or terminate resources, all of which will be delivered in a legally compliant, transparent and respectful manner.
