Employment in Senegal

The typical workweek in Senegal is 40 hours. Employment contracts are made in either oral or written formats in Senegal. Most employees prefer a written agreement that delineates all information about the salary, compensation, leaves and termination requirements. Employees are entitled to vacation, sick and parental leaves. Employees and employers are taxed. Moreover, employers register their staff members in the IPM health fund (Institut de Prévoyance Maladie). At Africa HR Solutions, we have the expertise to devise a tailored employment outsourcing strategy and help you manage an attractive benefits scheme to recruit the best talent in 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.
