A MaxisHR atua como empregador legal para sua equipe em Nigeria — gerindo contratos, folha em NGN, conformidade estatutária e administração de RH sob Labour Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004). 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 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.
O Employer of Record é a forma mais rápida, segura e económica de aceder a talentos em Nigeria sem os riscos de criar uma entidade.
Incorporar uma entidade em Nigeria 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 7–10 business days, sem necessidade de infraestrutura local.
A MaxisHR garante que cada contrato de trabalho, dedução de folha e obrigação estatutária está totalmente em conformidade com Labour Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004) em Nigeria. As suas obrigações de Pension Fund (PFA) contributions: 8% employee + 10% employer under PRA 2014 são calculadas, deduzidas e remetidas a tempo — protegendo-o de penalidades e riscos de incumprimento.
Criar uma entidade local em Nigeria envolve taxas de registo, honorários jurídicos, custos de conformidade contabilística e administração contínua. O modelo EOR elimina estas despesas de capital enquanto lhe dá acesso completo a talentos locais com folha em NGN.
O modelo EOR permite-lhe validar a sua estratégia de negócio em Nigeria com uma ou mais contratações-chave antes de se comprometer com infraestrutura de entidade permanente. Se os seus planos mudarem, pode reduzir ou expandir a sua equipa sem os procedimentos complexos de dissolução de entidade.
A MaxisHR gere todo o ciclo de vida do colaborador em Nigeria: elaboração de contratos conformes com Labour Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004), processamento mensal de folha em NGN, acompanhamento de férias (6–12 working days per year (varies by tenure and role)), administração de benefícios e conformidade de rescisão. A sua equipa mantém-se focada no crescimento do negócio.
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.
