Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A: An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third party that legally employs staff on your behalf in Nigeria. While you direct the work and manage daily operations of the employee, the EOR handles all legal, administrative, payroll, tax, and compliance responsibilities. This means you can hire talent in Nigeria without having to establish a local entity, manage labor laws yourself, or worry about statutory requirements.
- With a PEO (Professional Employer Organization), your company typically shares employment responsibilities. You often need a legal presence in the country, and co-employment means some compliance risk remains with you.
- An EOR becomes the legal employer, assuming full responsibility for employment contracts, tax remittances, benefits, and labor law compliance in Nigeria. You retain operational control.
A: Any company—global or local—that wants to hire employees in Nigeria without setting up a legal entity or doing all HR/Payroll/Legal administration themselves. Whether you need one person or a full team, EOR is ideal for scaling, testing new markets, bringing in remote talent, or hiring non-Nigerians with work permits.
A: Our EOR pricing is transparent and competitive. We charge $99 per employee/month under the special offer or $159/month if you hire two employees. This fee covers all the core EOR services: employment contracts, payroll processing, statutory compliance, taxes, and benefits. Optional add-ons are priced separately depending on the services you select (e.g., work permits, equipment, background checks).
