MaxisHR agit comme employeur légal pour vos équipes au Ethiopia — gérant contrats, paie en ETB, conformité statutaire et administration RH sous Labour Proclamation No. 1156/2019. Vous gardez le contrôle du travail ; nous gérons tout le reste.
An Employer of Record (EOR) allows international companies to hire full-time employees in Ethiopia legally and compliantly — without registering a local business entity. MaxisHR becomes the legal employer on paper, while you direct the employee's day-to-day work.
Ethiopia is Africa's second most populous nation and a major manufacturing investment destination. For companies expanding into East Africa, the EOR model eliminates the typical 3–6 month timeline for entity incorporation, removes ongoing compliance overhead, and dramatically reduces the cost and risk of entering the market.
MaxisHR manages employment contracts under Labour Proclamation No. 1156/2019, ETB payroll processing, statutory deductions (Private Organisations Employees Social Security: 11% employer + 7% employee), leave management, and employee offboarding — all from a single platform built for African markets.
L'Employer of Record est la voie la plus rapide, la plus sûre et la plus rentable pour accéder aux talents au Ethiopia sans les risques liés à la création d'une entité.
Incorporer une entité au Ethiopia prend généralement 3 à 6 mois et mobilise des ressources juridiques et administratives considérables. Avec MaxisHR comme EOR, votre premier employé peut être sous contrat et opérationnel en 10–14 business days, sans aucune infrastructure locale requise.
MaxisHR assure que chaque contrat de travail, déduction de paie et obligation statutaire est entièrement conforme à Labour Proclamation No. 1156/2019 au Ethiopia. Vos obligations en matière de Private Organisations Employees Social Security: 11% employer + 7% employee sont calculées, déduites et versées à temps — vous protégeant contre les pénalités et les risques de non-conformité.
La création d'une entité locale au Ethiopia implique des frais d'enregistrement, des honoraires juridiques, des coûts de conformité comptable et une administration permanente. Le modèle EOR élimine ces dépenses en capital tout en vous donnant un accès complet aux talents locaux avec une paie en ETB.
Le modèle EOR vous permet de valider votre stratégie commerciale au Ethiopia avec une ou plusieurs recrues clés avant de vous engager dans une infrastructure d'entité permanente. Si vos plans évoluent, vous pouvez réduire ou élargir votre équipe sans les procédures complexes de dissolution d'entité.

We register the employee with the relevant statutory bodies for Private Organisations Employees Social Security: 11% employer + 7% employee, enrol them on ETB payroll, and set up their HR records on the MaxisHR platform — typically completed within 10–14 business days.
Each monthly we run payroll, deduct and remit statutory contributions, issue payslips, and manage any leave or HR events. You get full visibility through the MaxisHR dashboard without touching a single filing.
Every employment agreement is drafted to meet Ethiopia's statutory requirements — including probation terms (Up to 60 working days), termination provisions, and mandatory clauses — protecting both employer and employee.
We calculate gross-to-net pay in ETB, withhold PAYE / income tax at the correct rates, remit to the revenue authority, and issue compliant payslips each monthly pay run.
MaxisHR handles all mandatory employer and employee contributions — calculating the correct amounts, deducting from payroll, and remitting to the relevant statutory bodies on time, every time.
We administer annual leave, sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, and public holidays in line with Labour Proclamation No. 1156/2019, maintaining accurate balances and handling leave pay calculations automatically.
From offer letter to exit interview, MaxisHR maintains employee records, manages onboarding documentation, and ensures offboarding is handled compliantly — including final pay and just cause required; severance calculated on length of service.
