Why Use an Employer of Record (EOR) in South Africa?
We know all the hiring requirements of clients – Including business type, job roles, qualifications & skills.
To access the vast talent pool of professionals in South Africa, your business needs a local entity. You need an office, a bank account, as well as knowledge of local tax and HR laws. A lengthy, tedious exercise.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a trusted partner that becomes the legal employer of your staff in another country. That means you can hire, pay, and manage your South African team, without opening a local branch, registering for tax, or learning new labour laws from scratch.
At Alacrity, We Onboard, Administer, and Pay your South African Employees. You Lead Your Team’s Work.
