Malawi EOR & PEO

An EOR in Malawi works by acting as an employer for local workers, whom it then assigns to positions with clients running businesses based outside the country. This allows foreign businesses to bypass many of the requirements of establishing themselves within Malawi while also outsourcing their human resources needs to an experienced local expert. Similarly, local workers are able to secure opportunities from a wider job market while knowing their employment will be handled by an agency that understands the local working regulations and culture.

Among the services provided by a Malawi EOR are:

1. Hire your employees: The first and most vital step to creating a labor force in Malawi is to hire workers. An EOR will begin doing this as soon as an agreement is made with a foreign client. The best talent for each required role is found either through advertising and assessment or by approaching members of an established roster of interested locals.
2. Manage employment contracts and onboarding: The second service carried out by a Malawi EOR is contracting and onboarding. Once the right workers have been found, the EOR will confirm their employment by creating contracts that satisfy all legal regulations and any stipulated requirements of the foreign client. They will then complete any necessary onboarding processes and assign each worker to their individual roles in the client business.
3. Process payroll and handle employment taxes: Although each Malawi worker performs the day-to-day duties on behalf of the foreign client, the EOR remains the legal employer at all times. As such, the EOR handles all payroll and tax processes, including settling disputes and managing audits.
4. Administer benefits: In addition to managing payroll, an EOR’s responsibilities as the legal employer also extend to administering benefits such as annual leave, social security, sick rights, and any other agreed bonuses and allowances. The EOR will perform this function throughout the employment cycle.
5. Take care of exit procedures: The final stage of an EOR’s responsibility occurs when the working relationship ends. Whether this happens due to the employee moving on, the needs of the employer changing, or some other reason, there will be official protocols that must be followed. These can include notice periods, severance pay, and – in some circumstances – exit interviews. The EOR will ensure every necessary process is followed for each departing employee.
