Exploring entity setup in Egypt for hiring? Think again.
It’s costly, time-intensive, and loaded with paperwork.
Bypass complex setup requirements
Setting up a local entity requires navigating multiple Egyptian authorities (Commercial Registry, Tax Authority, Social Insurance Organization) with 2-4 months setup time and $10K-$50K+ costs
Payroll would mean more than just payouts
Employers face 18.75% social security contributions, mandatory profit sharing (10% of annual net profits), training taxes (0.25% of minimum social insurance salary for 30+ staff annually), and strict payment deadlines within 7 days (in case of termination of employment).
No need to set up a legal entity
With us, you can onboard employees or contractors legally with minimal delays and risk, and help get your global team off the ground effortlessly and at speed.
5-7 days onboarding with employment contracts, payroll, and tax setup ready to go.
Employment contracts
We support full-time, part-time, fixed-term, and contractor arrangements consistent with Egyptian Labour Law, clearly defining role, salary, social insurance, leave entitlements, probation, end-of-service benefits and termination terms.
Background checks
We help you run proper checks so you don’t have to hope for the best. Comprehensive screening aligns with Egyptian employment standards and regulatory requirements.
Equipment provisioning
We make employee onboarding effortless by managing all equipment provisioning. We also have ties with multiple co-working spaces to boost employee productivity.
The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Social insurance
We manage filings, monthly contributions, and compliance. Typical contribution structure (subject to yearly cap adjustments): employer share ~18.75%, employee share ~11% of insurable wages; the social insurance wage base has statutory minimum and maximum caps that are adjusted periodically.
Sickness benefits
The Social Insurance Law (Law 148/2019) and Labor Law No. 12 provide that sickness benefits are 75% of the insured wage for the first 90 days, increasing to 85% for the next 90 days, with a maximum of 180 days per year.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Egypt Labour Law coverage
We maintain full compliance with Egyptian labor regulations, including overtime calculations (35% premium for work beyond 8 hours), social security contributions, and mandatory reporting requirements. Our team stays current with evolving regulations and specialized labor court requirements launching in 2025.
Worker classification & penalties
Misclassification or failure to register employees for social insurance can trigger fines, back-payments of social insurance and payroll contributions, and other sanctions. We help you ensure proper classification, employment contracts, payroll registration, and social insurance enrollment.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Under Egypt’s New Labour Law (No. 14 of 2025), effective 1 Sept 2025, annual leave is 15 working days in the first year, 21 days from the second year, 30 days for employees with 10+ years’ service or aged 50+. We can help you manage leave accrual and tracking as per local rules.
Sick leave
Employees are entitled to sick leave once every three years: three months on full pay, six months on 85% pay, and three months on 75% pay. Leave is granted only if a medical authority confirms recovery is likely. Employers must pay wages during sick leave after deducting the share covered by the Social Insurance Authority.
Maternity leave
As per the New Labour Law, maternity leave is extended to 120 calendar days (four months), an increase from the previous 90 days. This entitlement applies regardless of length of service and may be taken up to three times during a female employee’s career.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. Let us help you handle it better!
Notice period
Egyptian Labour Law requires prior written notice for ordinary termination; under the new labour law, a 3-month notice period applies to all employees regardless of years of service.
Severance & final payouts
Under Egyptian rules and recent legislative clarifications, employees dismissed without cause or in redundancies are eligible for end-of-service benefits calculated as per law (1-2 months for each year of service based on the type of employment contract, whether fixed or indefinite contract). We calculate final pay, accrued leave, end-of-service benefit, and social insurance settlements accurately and execute timely closures.
