Employer of Record (EOR) at Wekplace allows companies to hire local employees in African markets (e.g., Ghana, Senegal, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Togo, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast) without setting up a local legal entity.

Wekplace acts as the legal Employer of Record, taking full responsibility for:

• Compliant employment contracts under local labor laws
• Payroll processing, tax withholding, and statutory contributions
• Onboarding, benefits administration, and mandatory entitlements
• HR compliance, including leave, termination rules, and reporting

The client company retains day-to-day management: recruiting, directing work, setting goals, and supervising the team.

This model eliminates entity setup costs and risks, enabling fast, compliant workforce expansion. It integrates seamlessly with Wekplace’s Tenant of Record (TOR) for office space and other services, providing a complete solution for entering new African markets quickly and efficiently. 

Wekplace, operates through a co-employment model where Wekplace becomes the strategic HR partner while the client retains full operational control of their workforce.

Wekplace manages payroll administration, statutory compliance, tax filings, employee benefits, HR documentation, and regulatory updates, ensuring the business remains fully compliant with local labor laws. At the same time, it provides structured HR support — including onboarding, performance frameworks, policy development, and risk management guidance.

Wekplace, operates with precision, compliance, and local expertise across multiple jurisdictions.

Wekplace ensures accurate salary processing, statutory deductions, tax remittances, pension contributions, and regulatory filings in line with each country’s labor and tax laws. It adapts to local currency requirements, reporting standards, and evolving compliance frameworks while providing transparent payroll reports and audit-ready documentation.

By combining technology with deep regional knowledge, Wekplace delivers timely payments, reduces compliance risk, and gives businesses the confidence to scale across Africa without payroll complexities.

Wekplace operates as a specialized service that allows companies—particularly those expanding into African markets like Ghana, Togo, Senegal, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, or Ivory Coast—to lease office space, co-working facilities, or commercial properties compliantly without establishing a local legal entity themselves.

In this model, Wekplace acts as the Tenant of Record: we enter into the primary lease agreement with the property owner or landlord as the official tenant. We then provide sub-tenancy or access rights to your company (the end-user or “sub-tenant”), enabling your team to occupy and use the space seamlessly.

This approach simplifies operations by bundling:

• Property leasing and procurement
• Local compliance and administrative handling
• Utilities, maintenance coordination
• Flexible scaling for growing teams

It pairs well with Wekplace’s broader offerings like Employer of Record (EOR) and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) services, creating an integrated solution for businesses to establish a physical presence and workforce in new countries quickly and with reduced risk.
