  • Overview

Employing in Sudan

Workers’ rights in Sudan are spelled out in several laws, such as:

  • The Sudan Constitutional Charter for the 2019 Transitional Period
  • The 1997 Labour Code of the Republic of Sudan
  • The Sudanian Civil Code of May 24, 1971

— all of which guarantee equal pay for equal work, safe working environements, regular vacations and protections against discrimination based on age, gender, disability, and race although the government is still a long way from enforcing many of these provisions.

Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off.

Minimum Wage

Sudan’s minimum wage is fixed at SDG 425 ($0.93) per month. Of course, Sudanese remote workers will negotiate significantly higher than that on a case-by-case basis and you should always aim to pay competitive rates to attract the best talent across the world.

Facts & Stats

Sudan is a country in Northeast Africa that shares borders with CAR, Chad, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Libya. The country has an ancient history dating back to the time of the Pharaohs and more recently, the Ottoman empire.

Sudan has a chequered history of corruption, long-running civil wars, genocide, poverty, famine, and disease. The Sudanese government has also been accused of sponsoring terrorism and crippling economic sanctions have been levied on the country from 2004 to 2020.

All of these have disadvantaged the African nation & Sudan is easily one of the world’s poorest nations.

On the bright side, Sudan may finally have things looking up for its economy: the country has forced a long-standing dictator out of office & since economic sanctions were called off in 2020, Sudan has begun to slowly get reintegrated into the world’s economic and financial networks.

Sudan has witnessed growth in the petroleum, mining, and agricultural sectors, which contribute over $4 billion annually to the nation’s economy.

Grow your team in Sudan with Remote

You can pay contractors now in Sudan with Remote in some currencies (talk to a Remote expert now for more details).

 

Companies hiring in Sudan are typically required to either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider to employ on the company's behalf. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Sudan can get complicated fast, especially without localised expertise. If you’re looking to start hiring in a country like this, using a global HR platform like Remote makes it easy to hire workers in full compliance with all local legislation. In the countries where we do offer our Employer of Record product, Remote takes on responsibility for compliance so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.

Risks of misclassification

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