Employer of Record in Africa: The Easiest Way to Hire Across 54 Countries
Africa is home to 54 countries and over 1.4 billion people, making it one of the most exciting regions for global business expansion. With booming industries from tech in Kenya to energy in Mozambique, Africa offers incredible opportunities.
But with each country having its own labour laws, payroll systems, and compliance requirements, hiring can quickly become complex. That’s why more companies are turning to an Employer of Record (EOR) in Africa.
What Is an Employer of Record in Africa?
An EOR allows you to hire employees both locals and expats in Africa without setting up a local entity.
Gibson Watts Global manages:
- Employment contracts aligned with local law
- Payroll and tax compliance in each country
- Statutory benefits and HR administration
- Ongoing labour law compliance
With Gibson Watts Global’s Africa Employer of Record and payroll outsourcing services, you can enter new markets quickly, hire top talent, and stay compliant — all while reducing risk.
