Ease of doing business in Somalia
As of the World Bank’s 2020 Ease of Doing Business Index, Somalia is not ranked, largely due to the complexity of its political landscape and the infancy of its regulatory framework. Despite this, Somalia should not be ruled out as a prospective market for international expansion.

We offer invaluable insights into the local bureaucratic processes, advising on how best to obtain the necessary permits, licenses, and other permissions, thereby ensuring that your business operations remain both confident and compliant within the Somali context.

Statutory labor laws in Somalia
Understanding Somalia’s labor laws in great detail is imperative for seamless business operations:
Employee Probation Period: Somalia generally allows a probationary period of up to three months, during which both employer and employee can evaluate if the work relationship will be mutually beneficial in the long term. It is crucial to respect this time frame to ensure a smooth onboarding process and avoid potential legal issues.
Annual Leave Entitlements: Somali labor law typically provides for a minimum of 21 days of annual leave, not counting public holidays, after an employee has been in service for a full year. Businesses should budget for this entitlement in their operating plans.
Maternity Leave: The standard maternity leave in Somalia is approximately 14 weeks, granted at full pay. Employers are obligated to respect this right, provided the female employee has a minimum employment history, often six months, prior to taking leave.
Paternity Leave: Although not mandated by Somali law, some businesses opt to offer paternity leave for a few days as a goodwill measure, contributing to a positive work environment.
Sick Leave: There isn’t a one-size-fits-all rule for sick leave in Somalia; rather, these conditions are usually tailored in the individual employment contract. Both parties usually negotiate the specifics.
With Breedj acting as your Employer of Record in Somalia, your business gains the assurance that it is fully compliant with the local labor laws, reducing the risks associated with legal repercussions.

Social security in Somalia
In Somalia, social security remains a complex area without a state-run, universal system in place. Employers typically resort to private arrangements, such as setting up pension funds or providing insurance benefits for their staff. Breedj’s EOR services extend to managing these often intricate social security obligations. We help you establish suitable private funds, coordinate with financial institutions if necessary, and ensure that contributions are accurately calculated and timely deposited.
While setting foot in Somalia might appear daunting, aligning with Breedj as your EOR partner equips you to enter and operate in the Somali market securely and efficiently. Our tailored services and local expertise position your business effectively to tackle the regulatory, employment, and compliance challenges that are unique to Somalia.
