What is an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record is the legal employer of a worker in a certain country. As such, the Employer of Record takes care of all compliance aspects of employment, including payroll, taxes, statutory benefits, employment contracts, and more.

Why South Africa?

A brilliant, diverse, highly educated, native English-speaking, and hard-working workforce in a country with a GMT+2 timezone with a substantially lower cost of living, a relatively weak currency, and high unemployment rates.

Why use an Employer of Record?
