Hiring in the Central African Republic

The economy is improving in the Central African Republic, and both businesses and non-profits find themselves hiring workers there.

Employment relationships in the Central African Republic are governed by its constitution, international treaties, national legislation, and collective agreements. The primary legal framework is the Labor Code, which outlines employment contracts, working hours, wages, and worker rights. 

Additionally, the Labor Code mandates that employment contracts be in writing, specifying terms such as job description, remuneration, and duration. Employers are also required to adhere to regulations concerning working hours, which are typically set at 40 hours per week, and provide benefits like paid annual leave and maternity leave. 

Because of the complexity of employment laws in the Central African Republic, compliant employment contracts are an essential business need. With Safeguard Global as your partner, you can employ workers in the Central African Republic with confidence, knowing that every contract for every worker meets all requirements. We can also provide you with guidance about cultural norms and hiring best practices, and keep you up-to-date with employment regulations as they change.

Relying on an employer of record (EOR) in the Central African Republic

An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in the Central African Republic. Because of its in-country presence, the EOR can employ the workers a company needs and lease them to that company, taking care to comply with the Central African Republic’s labor laws. As a result, the organization doesn’t have to establish a legal presence or manage compliance in the Central African Republic. 

The EOR can hire and onboard employees in as little as two weeks and manage ongoing responsibilities such as payroll, benefits, and taxes. A full-service EOR can also manage recruitment. Together, these EOR services significantly reduce the administrative burden for an organization.
