Note that we are busy building our own entity in Botswana to provide you with the best possible employment solutions for your employees, but our employer of record service is not yet live in this country.

To employ in Botswana, companies must own a local legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solution. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Botswana can get complicated fast, especially without localised expertise.

If you're looking to start hiring in a country like this, partnering with a global employment solution like Remote makes it easy for your company to employ workers quickly, cost-effectively, and in full compliance with all local legislation.

In the countries where we do offer our EOR services, Remote takes on the responsibility and legal risks of international employment so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.

Risks of misclassification

Botswana, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Botswana may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
