Tanzania Employer of Record (EOR)

Tanzania is an ideal location for many international companies seeking to hire in Africa. It is one of the most prosperous countries in Africa, with a population of 60 million, and rated the second most popular African location for wildlife tourism. A powerful mechanism for global companies seek to hire employees in Tanzania is a Tanzania EOR solution. A Tanzania EOR solution allows international companies to legally hire employees in Tanzania without having to establish a subsidiary or branch office in the country. The EOR acts as the legal employer of the employees and is responsible for compliance with all local labor laws and regulations, including obtaining necessary permits and licenses, withholding and remitting taxes and social security contributions, and providing employee benefits. In practice, the EOR solution acts as an intermediary between the foreign company and the employees, handling all aspects of the employment relationship. The foreign company retains control over the employees’ job duties and performance, but the EOR is responsible for complying with local employment laws and regulations. This solution is particularly useful for companies looking to expand into Tanzania but, who are unsure of how to navigate the country’s legal and compliance requirements. It allows companies to focus on their core business activities while the EOR handles the administrative and compliance aspects of the employment relationship. A Tanzania EOR solution is similar to a Tanzania PEO, with the difference being that an EOR solution is the specific practice of a third party company taking on the legal responsibilities and liabilities of the employer. A Tanzania PEO usually offers an EOR solution alongside other HR services such as recruitment and visa support.
