MaxisHR agit comme employeur légal pour vos équipes au South Africa — gérant contrats, paie en ZAR, conformité statutaire et administration RH sous Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) 1997 + Labour Relations Act. 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 South Africa 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.
South Africa is Africa's most developed economy with the continent's strongest labour law framework. For companies expanding into Southern 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 Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) 1997 + Labour Relations Act, ZAR payroll processing, statutory deductions (UIF (1% employer + 1% employee) + SDL skills levy (1%)), 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 South Africa sans les risques liés à la création d'une entité.
Incorporer une entité au South Africa 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 5–8 business days, sans aucune infrastructure locale requise.
MaxisHR assure que chaque contrat de travail, déduction de paie et obligation statutaire est entièrement conforme à Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) 1997 + Labour Relations Act au South Africa. Vos obligations en matière de UIF (1% employer + 1% employee) + SDL skills levy (1%) 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 South Africa 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 ZAR.
Le modèle EOR vous permet de valider votre stratégie commerciale au South Africa 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.

Every employment agreement is drafted to meet South Africa's statutory requirements — including probation terms (Reasonable period (typically 3–6 months)), termination provisions, and mandatory clauses — protecting both employer and employee.
We calculate gross-to-net pay in ZAR, 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.
