How EOR works
What an Employer of Record in Egypt does
An Employer of Record becomes the legal employer of your team member in Egypt while the person works exclusively for you. The EOR issues the local employment contract, runs payroll, handles statutory contributions and social-insurance obligations, and keeps the employment compliant with Egyptian labour law.
You keep everything that makes the person part of your company: who you hire, what they work on, goals, reviews, tooling and culture. What you avoid is registering a company in Egypt, learning local payroll rules, or misclassifying an employee as a contractor.
EOR is the fastest compliant route into the Egyptian market — typically used for a first hire, a small team, or converting an existing long-term contractor into a properly employed team member.
Local employment contract
A compliant Egyptian employment agreement issued in line with local labour law and market practice.
Payroll & contributions
Salary, statutory withholdings and employer contributions coordinated through the local partner.
Labour-law compliance
Working time, leave entitlements, probation and termination handled with local expertise.
IP and confidentiality
Invention-assignment and confidentiality terms built into the paperwork, so the work belongs to your company.

When EOR isn't the right route
You already have an Egyptian entity
If you're registered locally, employing directly is usually simpler and cheaper — we'll tell you that.
You need short-term freelance help
EOR is for ongoing employment relationships, not a few weeks of project work.
You still need to find the person
If you haven't got a candidate yet, staff augmentation covers sourcing, vetting and employment together.
EOR Egypt — common questions
Do we need a company in Egypt?
No. The Employer of Record is the legal employer locally, so you can employ someone in Egypt without registering an entity.
Who manages the employee day to day?
You do. The EOR handles the legal employment relationship; the work, goals and performance management stay with your team.
Does our company own the work product?
Yes — IP assignment and confidentiality terms are part of the employment paperwork from day one.
How long does setup take?
It depends on documentation and the employee's start date. We give you a realistic timeline during intake rather than a promise here.
