Employment in South Sudan

Employment agreements are made in either verbal or written formats in South Sudan, though many employees prefer a written agreement that outlines all details about their monthly wage, compensation, leaves and termination requirements. Employees are entitled to vacation, sick and parental leaves. South Sudan operates on a progressive tax framework based on yearly revenue. Income tax is between 0% to 20% on individual revenue. Bonuses for employees do not necessarily have to be paid as the labour laws do not define those. Notice periods depend on the length of service and job positions.

At Africa HR Solutions, we manage your HR outsourcing strategy to ensure your international expansion goals are met, and follow the country’s policies, laws, culture and norms. To ensure you attract the best talent, we devise a competitive compensation scheme to attract the best talent to your organisation in South Sudan.
