Hiring in Nigeria
Nigeria is growing as a destination for hiring thanks to its investment in high-speed internet, a workforce that’s highly proficient in English, and a growing number of young professionals working in tech. But for companies looking to hire there, Nigeria’s labor laws can be complex. Employment relationships in Nigeria are governed by federal legislation, including its Labour Act (Chapter L1 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004), judicial precedents, and both collective and individual contracts. Numerous statutes and regulations established by the Nigerian government work together to protect employee rights and outline employer obligations.
With expert guidance, you can employ workers in Nigeria with confidence, knowing that labor laws are being followed and every contract meets all legal requirements. At Safeguard Global, we offer a range of workforce enablement solutions to help you employ your workers in Nigeria in full legal compliance.
Relying on an employer of record (EOR) in Nigeria
An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Nigeria. 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 Nigeria’s labor laws. As a result, the organization doesn’t have to establish a legal presence or manage compliance in Nigeria.
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.
