Statutory labor laws in Lesotho
An in-depth understanding of local labor laws is essential for any business looking to succeed in Lesotho:
Employee Probation Period: Generally, a new hire in Lesotho is subject to a probationary period of three months. This period can be extended with mutual consent, allowing you to assess the employee’s suitability for long-term employment.
Annual Leave Entitlements: As per Lesotho’s labor laws, employees are entitled to at least 12 working days of paid annual leave after they’ve been employed for a continuous 12-month period.
Maternity Leave: Female workers have a right to 12 consecutive weeks of maternity leave, starting as early as four weeks before the child’s expected birth date. This ensures the wellbeing of both mother and child.
Paternity Leave: Although not statutorily required, some companies do offer paternity leave as an additional benefit to male employees.
Sick Leave: Employees are eligible for up to 12 days of paid sick leave annually, provided they’ve been in continuous service for at least one month.
By choosing Breedj as your Employer of Record in Lesotho, we take on the responsibility of ensuring your full compliance with these statutory laws, allowing you to concentrate on achieving your business goals.

Social security in Lesotho
Understanding and complying with Lesotho’s social security requirements is not just a legal necessity but also a crucial aspect of building a reliable, long-term operation in the country. Employers are mandated to contribute to the Lesotho National Social Security Fund, generally around 6% of an employee’s gross salary, while the employee contributes an equal percentage. These contributions go towards securing various benefits, such as pensions.
At Breedj, we handle all facets of these social security contributions, from the initial registration to the monthly calculations and submissions. Our goal is to let you focus on your primary business activities, free from the administrative burdens related to social security compliance.
In summary, choosing Breedj’s EOR services is your gateway to a hassle-free and profitable business expansion into Lesotho. Reach out to us today for a comprehensive discussion on how we can facilitate your successful entrance and operation in this fascinating African market.
