Benefits Guide
Employing in Nigeria
Nigeria recognises two classes of workers. There are “workers,” who usually perform manual or administrative labour, and “employees,” who perform work that requires additional training or education. Different laws and regulations apply to each group. For workers of all types, it is best for companies to draft written employment contracts to ensure both sides understand the terms of the arrangement.
If you are looking to employ workers in Nigeria, contact Remote to learn about your options.

We can help you get a new employee started in Nigeria fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 6 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

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