Employment in Rwanda

Employment agreements are made in either oral or written formats in Rwanda, though many employees prefer a written agreement that outlines all details about their salary, compensation, leaves, and termination information. Regarding termination, the notice period depends on the length of service. Several other benefits are car allowance, housing allowance, loans, and telephone allowance. Employers and employees contribute a certain amount of their wages to the National Pension Fund. All employees have access to vacation, parental and sick leaves. Africa HR Solutions is your partner to help you establish your presence in Rwanda and providing the support you need to devise a competitive benefits scheme and attract the best talent to your organisation.

Africa HR Solutions is responsive, proactive, and accommodating, even with the time difference. In fact, it works in my favor—they have time to handle tasks before I start my day. Our payroll, especially in Senegal, is complex, but their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile definitely stand out.
