Why companies choose Workpay
as their EOR in Africa

Global EOR platforms cover Africa on paper. Workpay is built for Africa, with in-house HR, payroll, legal
and global mobility experts on the ground.

Workpay | Why choose Workpay as your EOR in Africa

Save up to 90% vs entity setup

Setting up a subsidiary in a new African country is slow and expensive. With EOR you skip registration, local directors and ongoing entity admin.

100% local compliance

Every country calculates payroll, tax and pension differently. Our in-house experts keep you compliant with labor and tax law in each market.

Pan-African coverage, one partner

Hire in Kenya today and Nigeria next quarter without adding vendors. One contract, one point of contact, one monthly invoice.

Benefits your hires expect

Offer medical insurance, pension and local perks wherever your people live, so you compete for top talent.

Paid on time, in local currency

Salaries disbursed in 100+ currencies through bank and mobile money integrations. Same payday, every month, across time zones.

One dashboard, every country

See salary payments, contracts and compliance status per country in real time, so HQ finance always has a consolidated view across your whole footprint.

Integrates with: QuickBooks Xero Sage Wave

Frequently asked questions

Workpay | Frequently asked questions
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An EOR is a company that legally employs staff on your behalf in a country where you don't have an entity. Workpay handles employment contracts, payroll, taxes, statutory contributions and compliance, while you manage the day-to-day work of your team.

In which countries can Workpay employ my team?

Workpay covers employment across Africa, including Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Egypt. One partner for the whole continent.

How fast can I onboard a new hire?

Once you share the role and package, contracts and digital onboarding are typically completed within days, not the months an entity setup takes.

What does EOR cost compared to opening an entity?

You pay a transparent monthly fee per employee. Compared to registering and maintaining a subsidiary, companies save up to 90% of expansion costs.

Can Workpay also handle contractors?

Yes. We support both full-time employees and contractors, including correct workforce classification to avoid misclassification risk.

More About Workpay

Want to know why customers love Workpay?

We’re already helping over 400 companies to automate their people management, harnessing the power of technology for smoother, more productive operations.

We had really struggled to have a payroll software that is affordable and available remotely due to the nature of work we do. Workpay is very efficient, available on the cloud and salary disbursement takes seconds. Would highly recommend.
