Hiring in Togo
Employment relationships in Togo are governed by its constitution, treaties, statutes, and judicial precedents, as well as collective and individual contracts. The primary legal framework is the Labor Code of 2006 and the Inter-professional Collective Agreement of 2011, which regulate employment relationships, including contracts, working hours, and termination processes.
Additionally, Togolese law requires that employment contracts be formalized in writing, detailing job responsibilities, compensation, and duration. Employers must also comply with regulations on working hours, typically set at 40 hours per week, and provide mandatory benefits such as paid leave and social security contributions.
Because of the complexity of employment laws in Togo, compliant employment contracts are an essential business need. With Safeguard Global as your partner, you can employ workers in Togo 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 Togo
An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Togo. 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 Togo’s labor laws. As a result, the organization doesn’t have to establish a legal presence or manage compliance in Togo.
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.
