If you’re a business in the Netherlands planning to expand into South Africa, managing local hiring, compliance, and payroll can feel overwhelming. That’s where DNA EOR, your trusted Employer of Record South Africa partner, comes in. We make your global expansion smooth, fast, and fully compliant—without the need to set up a local entity.
Why Dutch Businesses Need an Employer of Record in South Africa
South Africa offers a rich talent pool and growing business opportunities. However, its labour laws, tax regulations, and employee rights differ significantly from those in the Netherlands. Missteps can lead to costly legal troubles.
With DNA EOR, we take the legal responsibility off your plate. As your Employer of Record South Africa, we manage employment contracts, payroll, tax filings, and HR support, so you can focus on growing your business from the Netherlands with confidence.
What Does an Employer of Record Do?
An Employer of Record (EOR) acts as the legal employer for your remote employees. While you manage their daily tasks, we handle the legal side of employment in South Africa. Here’s what we cover:
- Drafting compliant employment contracts
- Running monthly payroll in ZAR
- Handling taxes, benefits, and deductions
- Ensuring labour law compliance
- Providing termination and HR support
By using DNA EOR’s Employer of Record South Africa service, you remove the risks of misclassification, fines, or employment disputes.
