Are you considering hiring internationally? Instantly calculate employment costs based on your team's locations to optimize your recruitment decisions.
Do you want to expand in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, or Dubai? Hiring local employees is often an essential step to establish a lasting presence and seize the best opportunities. However, recruiting abroad is fraught with pitfalls for those who do not master the regulatory and cultural subtleties of each country.
At Weepo, we have been supporting companies in their international expansion strategies for over 10 years. Our position as an EOR (Employer of Record) allows us to take on the role of legal employer on your behalf. Specifically, we recruit and hire employees under our own local legal entity, in strict compliance with the applicable labor laws.
Working in Dubai offers unique opportunities, but working conditions are strictly regulated. Contracts, written in Arabic or English, must comply with local standards, with a weekly duration of 48 hours, spread over 6 days, and 30 days of annual leave after one year of service. Hours are reduced during Ramadan for Muslim employees. Compensation often includes benefits such as housing, transportation, mandatory medical insurance, and an end-of-service gratuity, essential in the absence of a pension or social security system for expatriates. Every foreign employee must have a work visa sponsored by the employer, a requirement that can be complex to manage. To simplify this process, Employer of Record (EOR) solutions allow companies to recruit without creating a local entity. The EOR manages contracts, payroll, legal compliance, and visa sponsorship, ensuring smooth management and compliant working conditions, while allowing companies to focus on their core business.
Moroccan labor law requires a deep understanding of its particularities to avoid any risk of non-compliance. For example, employment contracts can be drawn up in several languages, but they must always comply with local legal provisions. Regarding pay slips, they must include mandatory information, such as working hours, gross salary, deductions for social security and income tax, as well as the net salary to be paid.
In terms of compensation, specific ceilings must be considered, particularly for contributions to the CNSS (Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale). Paid leave is governed by strict rules, including a legal minimum number of annual leave days, while employee representation imposes obligations on companies exceeding a certain number of employees, such as the election of staff representatives.
Another example is Tunisia. The employment contract must comply with mandatory mentions (qualification, working hours, compensation, etc.) under penalty of nullity. The employer is required to affiliate their employees with the CNSS (social security) and declare it on the dedicated site. Again, contributions vary depending on the sector and status (executive or non-executive).
In Algeria, it is the labor inspection that ensures compliance with regulations. Any hiring must be declared to the local services. The employer is responsible for the payment of social contributions, medical visits, and leave. These obligations are sometimes unknown to foreign companies.
