So you want to hire someone in the Central African Republic. Problem is, your company is located somewhere else.
If you’ve done some research, you’ve probably been told you should be using an Employer-of-Record (EOR). Why? Well, if your company isn’t located in the Central African Republic, using an EOR can help you bypass the traditional obstacles to hiring full-time employees.
But there’s a catch: EOR solutions in the Central African Republic are expensive—usually at least $500 per month per employee—and can take time to set up. And because you’re complying with a different set of labor laws, logistics and benefits can end up costing you lots of time and money. While they will save you time from setting up your own entity, they’re rarely cheap or fast.
The good news? There’s another way to hire remote workers in the Central African Republic, and it doesn’t involve forking out huge amounts of money for an EOR.
The solution: Hire your teammates in the Central African Republic as contractors. If you’re hiring remotely and your teammates have autonomy, there’s a good chance you can make compliant contractor hires. You still have to use locally-compliant contracts, but the process is a lot easier, more affordable, and faster.
We built Thera to help you make contractor hires, in 150+ countries (like the Central African Republic). So you can hire the people you want on your team, without paying thousands for an EOR. You can get set up in a couple of clicks—and you’ll only pay $49 per contractor per month.
It’s just as easy as it sounds. No catch. Here’s what Thera looks like vs. an EOR in the Central African Republic:
Are you considering hiring independent contractors abroad but unsure of the legal and regulatory conditions in the Central African Republic? Look no further. In this post, we'll break down everything you need to know about using an EOR in the Central African Republic, including any specific legal or regulatory conditions. We'll also explore why hiring an independent contractor might be a better option.
An EOR, or Employer of Record, is a third-party entity that acts as the official employer of your workers. This means that the EOR takes care of all the administrative tasks associated with employment, such as payroll, taxes, and benefits. As the client company, you still maintain full control over the work performed by the employees.
The Central African Republic has a complex legal and regulatory framework when it comes to employment. The Labor Code governs all aspects of employment, including hiring, termination, and working conditions. Additionally, there are specific regulations related to foreign workers that must be followed.
One of the biggest challenges of using an EOR in the Central African Republic is finding a reputable provider. There are few established EORs in the country, and many operate in a legal gray area. It's important to do your due diligence and thoroughly research any potential providers before signing a contract.
Given the complex legal and regulatory conditions in the Central African Republic, hiring an independent contractor might be a simpler option. Independent contractors are not subject to the same labor laws as employees, and they are responsible for their own taxes and benefits. This means that you can avoid the administrative burden of using an EOR.
Additionally, contracting agreements are always almost more flexible than employment agreements. This means it’s easier for you and your contractor to get onboarded, and changing or terminating contracts tends to be simple.
We’ve got two pieces of good news for you. For one, if you’re hiring remotely, it’s unlikely you’ll misclassify your contractors. Many of the things that qualify people as employees, such as company equipment and set working hours, don’t typically apply to remote work.
Still, it’s helpful to have the comfort of knowing you’re not at risk for misclassification. That’s why, at Thera, we’ve launched Misclassification Assurance: so you can hire contractors abroad, worry-free. Learn more about hiring with Thera below.
If you’re hiring contractors, you’re probably spending too much time on their payroll, contracts, and tax documents. Which is why we built Thera, which saves you 90% the time you spend on contractor paperwork each month.
With Thera, you can compliantly hire your contractors in 150+ countries, onboard them in minutes, and pay them all at once (in a click). It’s global contractor payroll, finally simplified.
