Hiring in Botswana

Social security in Botswana
In Botswana, there are currently no social security taxes or contributions mandated by the government. This unique aspect of the country’s labor market presents both opportunities and challenges for international organizations operating in Botswana.
On one hand, the absence of social security taxes and contributions can result in reduced employment costs for businesses, making Botswana an attractive destination for global companies. This factor may also contribute to higher employee take-home pay, which can be beneficial in attracting and retaining talent in the local market.
On the other hand, the lack of a formal social security system may necessitate organizations to consider offering supplementary benefits, such as private retirement or insurance plans, to ensure the well-being of their employees. This can help to compensate for the absence of a government-mandated social security program and support employee retention in the long term.
At Breedj, our extensive knowledge of the local labor market enables us to provide expert guidance on navigating the unique social security landscape in the country. By partnering with us as your employer of record provider in Botswana, you can be confident that your organization is equipped to address the challenges and opportunities presented by Botswana’s social security system, while ensuring full compliance with local labor laws.
