Ease of doing business in Tanzania
Tanzania is a country that is increasingly attractive to international organizations looking to expand their operations in Africa. According to the World Bank’s latest “Ease of Doing Business” report, Tanzania ranks 141st out of 190 countries, with a score of 53.6 out of 100. While this score suggests that there are still some challenges associated with doing business in Tanzania, it also indicates that the country has made significant progress in recent years in improving its business climate.
For international organizations looking to do business in Tanzania, this ranking suggests that there are both opportunities and risks to consider. On the one hand, Tanzania has a large and growing consumer market, a wealth of natural resources, and a strategic location that makes it an ideal hub for business activity in East Africa. On the other hand, companies that are not familiar with the local business environment may encounter challenges related to regulatory compliance, bureaucratic hurdles, and cultural differences.
At Breedj, we understand the complexities of doing business in Tanzania and are committed to helping our clients navigate these challenges with confidence and ease. With our Tanzania EOR solutions, we provide instant access to local expertise, helping organizations to better understand the local market and regulatory environment. Additionally, our solutions ensure compliance with local labor laws and regulations, helping to mitigate risks associated with doing business in Tanzania.
Hiring in Tanzania
For global companies looking to hire employees in Tanzania, there are typically two options: set up their own entity or use an employer of record (EOR) solution. While setting up an entity may seem like the more traditional approach, it can be time-consuming, expensive, and risky. Companies that choose this option will need to comply with local laws and regulations, establish their own payroll system, and navigate the complexities of recruiting, hiring, and managing employees in Tanzania. This can be especially challenging for companies that are not familiar with the local market or business environment.
At Breedj, we offer a better solution: our comprehensive Tanzania EOR services. With our solutions, global organizations can hire employees in Tanzania without having to set up their own entity, allowing for faster time to market and greater agility in responding to changing business needs. Additionally, our EOR services ensure compliance with local labor laws and regulations, mitigating risks associated with non-compliance.
By partnering with Breedj, global organizations can focus on what they do best – growing their business and serving their customers – while leaving the complexities of compliance and payroll administration to us. Our team of local experts has the knowledge and experience needed to help our clients navigate the local market and regulatory environment with confidence and ease. Whether you are looking to hire one employee or dozens, Breedj has the solutions you need to succeed in Tanzania.

Statutory labor laws in Tanzania
Tanzania has a well-established legal framework for employment, with a number of statutory labor laws in place that govern the relationship between employers and employees. Understanding these laws and regulations is essential for any organization that is looking to hire employees in Tanzania. At Breedj, we have a deep understanding of these laws and regulations and can help our clients navigate them with ease.
One important aspect of employment law in Tanzania is the probation period. While there is no explicit provision in the Employment and Labor Relations Act 2004 about a probation period, this act implicitly requires a probationary period of six months by saying that a worker with less than six months of employment may not bring an unfair termination claim against the employer.
Another important aspect of employment law in Tanzania is annual leave. A worker is entitled to 28 days paid annual leave, inclusive of any public holidays that may fall during the period of leave.
Maternity leave is also a key consideration for organizations looking to hire employees in Tanzania. Female workers are entitled to at least twelve weeks (84 days) of fully paid maternity leave or 100 consecutive days (in case of multiple births) within a leave cycle of 36 months. Additionally, a worker is entitled to 84 days paid maternity leave within a leave cycle if the newborn dies within a year of birth.
Employment and Labor Relations Act 2004 also provides for paid paternity leave of at least three days (in a leave cycle of 12 months) for a new father if this leave is taken within the seven days of the birth of a child. The employer may require reasonable proof of birth of child prior to paying for paternity leave.
Finally, every worker certified by a medical practitioner is entitled to paid sick leave (sickness benefit) for a period of 126 days in a leave cycle of 36 months.
By partnering with Breedj, global organizations can ensure that they are in compliance with all of these labor laws and regulations when hiring employees in Tanzania. Our local experts can help our clients navigate the complexities of employment law in Tanzania, ensuring that their employees are treated fairly and that their business is protected.

Social security in Tanzania
Social security is an important consideration for any organization that is looking to hire employees in Tanzania. Tanzania has a state social security scheme known as the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), which every employer in the private sector must contribute to.
The employer’s contribution is 20% of the employee’s cash remuneration; however, the employer is entitled to recover up to half of this from the employee. Similar contribution rates apply to the Public Service Social Security Fund (PSSSF) scheme, which is a special fund for the employer and employees in the public sector. In the PSSSF scheme, the contribution by employer and employee is 15% and 5%, respectively.
Complying with these social security requirements can be complex and time-consuming for global organizations that are not familiar with the local market and regulatory environment in Tanzania. This is where Breedj’s Tanzania employer of record services come in. With our comprehensive solutions, we ensure that our clients are in compliance with all social security requirements in Tanzania, allowing them to focus on their core business activities.
In addition to helping our clients comply with social security regulations in Tanzania, Breedj also provides support in areas such as payroll administration and tax compliance. Our local experts have the knowledge and experience needed to help our clients navigate the complexities of these areas with ease, ensuring that their business is protected and their employees are well taken care of.
By partnering with Breedj, global organizations can ensure that they are in compliance with all social security regulations and requirements in Tanzania. Our comprehensive solutions and local expertise make it easy for our clients to hire and manage employees in Tanzania, allowing them to focus on growing their business and achieving their objectives with confidence and ease.
