Nigeria EOR Services

Hiring in Nigeria has never been easier with Native Teams by your side. Through our Employer of Record solutions, we will handle your global payroll, taxation, and HR documentation, while you’re focusing on elevating your business.

Why use an employer of record services in Nigeria?

Nigerian labour regulations impose a few legal steps related to operating in the country. Before hiring and onboarding employees, companies must have a legal establishment, including a physical address, tax identification number, and local bank accounts.

After hiring their first employee, businesses must comply with employment laws regarding minimum wages, benefits, working hours, paid leaves, termination policies, and other important regulations.

One way to skip this difficult process is to partner with a global company offering EOR solutions, such as Native Teams. Our expert teams will assist you with all the matters related to payroll, taxes, and HR administration, so you can rest assured that your business complies with local employment laws.
