OUTprof enables international companies to employ professionals in South Africa without establishing a local entity. Our Employer of Record (EOR) service manages employment contracts, payroll, statutory compliance, benefits and local HR administration—giving you a compliant, cost-effective way to build and manage your South African team.
OUTprof provides a practical, compliant and cost-effective Employer of Record (EOR) solution for international companies that want to employ professionals in South Africa without establishing their own local legal entity.
Our EOR service allows you to recruit and manage the people you need while OUTprof takes responsibility for the local employment infrastructure. We become the employee’s local employer and manage the administrative, payroll and statutory obligations associated with employment in South Africa, while you retain day-to-day responsibility for the employee’s role, performance and work.
What OUTprof manages
Our EOR service can include:
-> Local employment contracts aligned with South African employment requirements
-> Payroll administration, including salary calculations and payslips
-> PAYE and statutory deductions and associated employer obligations
-> Employment compliance and local HR administration
-> Leave and employee records
-> Benefits and employment-related administration
-> Onboarding and offboarding
-> Ongoing employee support
-> Guidance on South African employment practices and requirements
This provides international businesses with a single, managed solution for employing South African talent while reducing the complexity and risks associated with cross-border employment.
Recruit globally. Employ locally.
An EOR is particularly valuable when you have identified the right person in South Africa but do not yet have a South African subsidiary or want to incur the cost and administration of establishing one.
OUTprof provides the local employment platform, allowing you to move from “we want to hire this person” to “they can start work” quickly and efficiently.
You continue to direct the employee's work, responsibilities, objectives and performance. OUTprof handles the employment administration and local compliance framework behind the relationship.
More than payroll
OUTprof is designed to be more than a payroll provider. We combine EOR, payroll and professional support to help international businesses establish and operate distributed teams in South Africa.
Our approach is built around three principles:
Enable – make it straightforward for international companies to employ South African professionals.
Operate – manage the local employment, payroll and administrative infrastructure.
Grow – provide the flexibility to expand your South African team without having to build the entire local employment infrastructure yourself.
Whether you are employing your first South African employee or building a larger distributed team, OUTprof provides a flexible platform for compliant local employment.
