Frequently Asked Questions
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Kenya is a third-party organization, like Kazicloud, that legally employs staff on behalf of your company. We manage contracts, payroll, statutory deductions, and compliance with Kenyan labour laws, while you retain control of the employee’s daily work. This allows foreign and local businesses to hire without registering a local company.
You can hire employees in Kenya without setting up a company by using an Employer of Record (EOR). The EOR acts as the legal employer, handling HR, payroll, and compliance, so your business can expand into Kenya quickly without opening a local entity.
The main difference is speed, cost, and compliance responsibility. Setting up a subsidiary in Kenya requires incorporation, tax registration, and ongoing compliance management, which is time-consuming and expensive. An Employer of Record lets you hire in weeks, with lower costs and reduced compliance risks.
The cost of Employer of Record services in Kenya depends on the number of employees and level of HR support required. In most cases, EOR is more affordable than opening a local entity, since you only pay service fees and employee salaries, without overhead costs of incorporation, payroll systems, and compliance management.
Kenya requires employers to deduct and remit several statutory contributions:
PAYE (Pay-As-You-Earn): Monthly income tax paid to KRA.
NSSF (National Social Security Fund): Mandatory retirement contributions.
NHIF (National Hospital Insurance Fund): Mandatory health insurance contributions.
An EOR in Kenya ensures all payroll taxes and statutory deductions are processed correctly and on time.
