Overview

Running payroll across 54 African countries can feel like navigating 54 different rule books at once. Each with its own tax thresholds, statutory deadlines, FX regulations, and penalties. One misstep can trigger audits or damage employee trust, resulting in a shortfall in employee payroll filings, payroll to different authorities, and payment deadlines.

At Workforce Africa, we believe payroll excellence on the continent is about more than ticking compliance boxes; it is about safeguarding employee trust, protecting margins and empowering local teams through timely, transparent pay powered by technology that understands African regulations.

In this 60-minute webinar, Workforce Africa’s specialists will simplify the complexity and share a four-step framework for paying distributed teams accurately and on time, every time. You’ll walk away with practical checklists and real-world case studies of key African markets, including South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Egypt, and Nigeria.
