The differentiator

What an EOR handles in Liberia

An EOR removes the entity and the payroll machinery. It does not remove your obligations as the people manager.

Payroll, tax & social security● fullGross-to-net, statutory withholding and employer contributions remitted locally. Employer social security here is 6%.
Compliant local contract● fullDrafted to local labour law and language requirements. Here statutory notice is 4.3 weeks and the wage floor is LRD 91/mo.
