MaxisHR agit comme employeur légal pour vos équipes au Nigeria — gérant contrats, paie en NGN, conformité statutaire et administration RH sous Labour Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004). 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 Nigeria 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.
Nigeria is Africa's largest economy and most populous nation. For companies expanding into West 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 Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004), NGN payroll processing, statutory deductions (Pension Fund (PFA) contributions: 8% employee + 10% employer under PRA 2014), 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 Nigeria sans les risques liés à la création d'une entité.
Incorporer une entité au Nigeria 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 7–10 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 Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004) au Nigeria. Vos obligations en matière de Pension Fund (PFA) contributions: 8% employee + 10% employer under PRA 2014 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 Nigeria 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 NGN.
Le modèle EOR vous permet de valider votre stratégie commerciale au Nigeria 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.
MaxisHR gère l'intégralité du cycle de vie des employés au Nigeria : rédaction de contrats conformes à Labour Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004), traitement mensuel de la paie en NGN, suivi des congés (6–12 working days per year (varies by tenure and role)), administration des avantages sociaux et conformité en matière de licenciement. Votre équipe reste concentrée sur la croissance de l'entreprise.
Share your candidate's details — role, start date, compensation, and any bespoke contract terms. MaxisHR reviews the package against Labour Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004) to ensure full statutory compliance from day one.
MaxisHR prepares a locally compliant employment agreement in Nigeria, covering probation (3–6 months), notice periods (1 month minimum), annual leave (6–12 working days per year (varies by tenure and role)), and all mandatory clauses required by Labour Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004).
We register the employee with the relevant statutory bodies for Pension Fund (PFA) contributions: 8% employee + 10% employer under PRA 2014, enrol them on NGN payroll, and set up their HR records on the MaxisHR platform — typically completed within 7–10 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 Nigeria's statutory requirements — including probation terms (3–6 months), termination provisions, and mandatory clauses — protecting both employer and employee.
We calculate gross-to-net pay in NGN, 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 Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004), 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 notice requirements and redundancy compensation governed by the labour act and company policy.
Our West Africa team monitors changes to Nigeria's employment legislation and proactively updates your workforce setup — so you're never caught off-guard by regulatory changes.
