Comparison of Expansion Models
Domestic PEO solutions aid local expansion within a country. On the other hand, a global PEO supports businesses in hiring and managing employees across different countries, without having to set up local entities in those countries. There are also firms that only provide international payroll support without providing employment services as global PEOs would.
In selecting the most suitable solution for your business, it is imperative to understand who will be responsible for managing employee onboarding and overall employment risks

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Workforce Africa hire our expat candidates for us?
Yes. Workforce Africa will onboard your candidates (including expats) and issue them compliant employment contracts. Workforce Africa therefore becomes the Employer of Record for your expat foreign employees.
We are yet to source the right candidates for our African operations. Can you recruit talent for us?
Yes. We can source top and quality talent for your operations in any African country. You however get to choose the best fit talent for the role
Is a PEO/ Employer of Record same as International Payroll outsourcing?
An organisation may outsource the payroll function for its foreign subsidiary. This however does not relieve it of its compliance duties. With an Employer of record (such as Workforce Africa) on the other hand, the Employer of Record is responsible for payroll and other compliance requirements
If I already have a registered local entity, can I switch to a PEO like Workforce Africa?
Absolutely. In our experience, switching from a local legal entity, to a PEO/ Employer of Record, saves you cost and lets you focus on more strategic activities.
Will Workforce Africa pay/deduct all necessary taxes and benefits for employees?
Yes. As the Employer of Record. Workforce Africa withholds all payroll taxes monthly and administers relevant employee benefits (such as insurance and pension contributions) in compliance with all applicable laws.
Does the client retain control of its workforce when engaging Workforce Africa as a PEO?
Yes. Workforce Africa only becomes the Employer of Record that is responsible for employment compliance management. However, the Client on a daily basis oversees the operational activities of the employees
How will the employees get paid in a PEO arrangement?
Workforce Africa, as the employer, is responsible for staff salary payment, benefits administration and taxes withholding. The Client is billed once in a month for all these payments and the PEO’s management fee
What is the difference between PEO and staff leasing?
The major difference between PEOs and staff leasing is in the relationship between the Staff and the Client. With a PEO, there is an ongoing relationship between the Staff and the client company. The PEO becomes the Employer of record. In Staff leasing, the employee is leased to the client company, usually on a temporary basis. The Staff’s relationship with the staffing company is usually ongoing.
