Note that we are busy developing our EOR product to legally operate in Sierra Leone and provide you with the best possible experience for your team, but we are not yet ready to employ in Sierra Leone.

Companies hiring in Sierra Leone are typically required to either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider to employ on the company's behalf. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Sierra Leone can get complicated fast, especially without localized expertise. If you’re looking to start hiring in a country like this, using a global HR platform like Remote makes it easy to hire workers in full compliance with all local legislation. In the countries where we do offer our Employer of Record product, Remote takes on responsibility for compliance so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.

Risks of misclassification

Sierra Leone, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Sierra Leone may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
