A MaxisHR atua como empregador legal para sua equipe em Ethiopia — gerindo contratos, folha em ETB, conformidade estatutária e administração de RH sob Labour Proclamation No. 1156/2019. Você mantém o controlo do trabalho; nós tratamos de todo o resto.
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.
O Employer of Record é a forma mais rápida, segura e económica de aceder a talentos em Ethiopia sem os riscos de criar uma entidade.
Incorporar uma entidade em Ethiopia normalmente leva 3 a 6 meses e consome recursos jurídicos e administrativos significativos. Com a MaxisHR como EOR, o seu primeiro colaborador pode estar sob contrato e operacional em 10–14 business days, sem necessidade de infraestrutura local.
