Statutory labor laws in Malawi
An intimate understanding of Malawi’s labor laws is indispensable for any foreign business planning to set up shop in the country. To elucidate:
Employee Probation Period: Generally, the initial probation period in Malawi is three months. However, this period may be extended by mutual agreement between the employer and employee.
Annual Leave Entitlements: In Malawi, employees are entitled to a minimum of 24 working days of paid leave each year after completing a year of continuous service with the same employer.
Maternity Leave: Female employees in Malawi are entitled to 16 weeks of maternity leave, divided equally before and after childbirth (8 weeks each).
Paternity Leave: While Malawi does not have a nationally-mandated paternity leave policy, some businesses may offer this benefit voluntarily.
Sick Leave: Malawian law grants employees up to 30 days of paid sick leave annually, but only after the employee has been with the company for at least one month.

Social security in Malawi
Being an employer in Malawi comes with the responsibility of participating in the country’s Social Security System. This typically involves an employer contribution of approximately 10% of each employee’s gross salary.
