Out of all the tasks you need to complete for your expansion, hiring is one of the most important. However, searching for talented employees to fill your open positions is challenging no matter where you are in the world. If you are planning an expansion to Ghana, you’ll have to build your team while handling everything from compensation to payroll and meeting the country’s employment compliance laws.

G-P has an easier option. As a global Employer of Record (EOR), we’ll hire employees to work for your business. As a result, you can start hiring in minutes without the stress of learning the country’s employment compliance laws or spending time setting up your own subsidiary.

Recruiting in Ghana

In addition to learning about Ghanaian culture and etiquette, your recruiting team should spend time considering the practical aspects of recruiting. Do you know where to look for talent in Ghana? How familiar are you with your legal obligations as an employer? You’ll want to be able to answer all of these questions before you begin the recruitment process.

Networking and connecting with highly qualified employees can be challenging in a country where you don’t have any business connections. For this reason, many companies work with an Employer of Record (EOR) that offers recruiting tools and can hire team members on your behalf. Keep in mind that a recruiting agency won’t take on the risks and responsibilities of compliance for you, whereas an Employer of Record will.

Laws against discrimination in Ghana

The constitution and labor laws protect employees and candidates from discrimination. The laws specifically mention several protected characteristics, including:

  • Ethnic origin
  • Race
  • Color
  • Sex
  • Religion
  • Creed
  • Social or economic status
  • Political opinion

Individuals with disabilities also have specific protections in the workplace. It’s important to make sure your business complies with all of these legal requirements from day one of hiring in Ghana. Failure to do so could result in operational delays and hefty fines for your company.

How to hire employees in Ghana

You must hire all Ghana employees working for a period of longer than 6 months using a written employment contract in English. The contract should spell out important employment terms, including compensation, benefits, termination requirements, working hours, and more. Keep in mind that all offer letters and contracts should include monetary amounts in Ghanaian cedi.

There are some trade unions within Ghana that you need to be aware of. If your industry or employees belong to a trade union, you have to follow the union’s separate Ghana employment compliance laws.

Ghana employment laws

Ghana’s Labor Act 651 of 2003 outlines all the country’s employment compliance laws and labor issues. You can find all laws related to labor, employers, trade unions, and industrial relations within the act. It’s important to note that you have to follow additional Ghana employment compliance laws if you want to hire a non-national. That employee must get a work permit or immigrant quota that specifies the employee’s job title and indicates who the employer is.

Onboarding in Ghana

Your company can onboard employees in the way you see fit. However, we do recommend taking certain steps to help your employees become comfortable with your company and their new jobs. Start an employee’s first day by reviewing their employment contract and any other vital company documents. Then you can create a training program that sets employees up for success in their jobs.

If you’re only onboarding a few employees, you can schedule a meeting to introduce them to your company and encourage all new employees to meet each other.
