Transition to Workforce PEO

We can help your business transition from a local subsidiary to using a PEO/ Employer of Record for workforce management

Do you have an established business operation already in Africa? Then, you may be able to achieve significant cost savings by engaging an Employer of Record to manage your workforce instead of doing so via your local entity. Workforce Africa has the required capabilities and experience to support a successful transition from local entities (such as a subsidiary company) to an Employer of Record.

Over time, maintaining multiple overseas entities (more so in Africa) can become costly and time consuming. Switching from a local entity to a Global PEO could save you a lot in ongoing costs

Why switch from a local entity to Workforce PEO

Switching from a local entity to an Africa PEO and Employer of Record can save your business considerable time and money. Through our Africa PEO, we manage payroll, HR, recruitment, and employee onboarding. This removes the burden of establishing different entities in multiple locations.

The following are some of the benefits your business can derive from transitioning your Africa workforce to an Africa PEO.

You are able to minimize operational costs as we will administer payroll and benefits at a lower cost than your local entity would.

Achieve savings via reduced compliance costs. You don’t need to engage separate lawyers or tax advisors.

We take off your hands all employer’s responsibilities, administration, and HR tasks. This affords you more time to focus on growing your business in Africa

We operate through legally registered entities in any African country you want us to serve you in. Therefore, we are able to ensure compliance with the relevant tax and employment laws.

Payments (Payroll, administrative cost etc.) are simplified across all your operational locations in Africa, with just one monthly invoice.

Deal with Workforce Africa as the one point of contact and partner for all your African operations, instead of multiple entities across the continent.
