Offering competitive compensation and benefits is one of the most important ways employers can attract and retain talent. When expanding to Algeria, you’ll need a strong benefits management plan to stay compliant.
G-P will help you start working quickly in Algeria without concerns about compensation and benefits. As a global EOR, we’ll hire employees to work for you, add them to our payroll, and create a compliant benefits plan.
Algeria compensation laws
While Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) and trade unions are not very common in the country, they can impact minimum wage if your industry or company has a specific agreement.
Guaranteed benefits in Algeria
Every employee needs to receive statutory benefits as part of your Algeria benefits management plan. Algeria has 9 public holidays, and you should give employees those days off. Employees should also receive 30 days of paid annual leave that they accumulate over 12 months. In addition, you’re required to provide sick leave that you pay for from the first day of the illness unless otherwise required by law.
Companies are also required to provide maternity leave for all expecting employees. They should receive 14 weeks of paid maternity leave at their normal wage, starting at least a week from the time they’re admitted to the hospital. Fathers can take 3 days of paid paternity leave as long as they submit a written notice and reason.
Algeria benefits management
Once you determine the statutory benefits of your Algeria benefits management plan, you should also include supplemental benefits. While these benefits usually aren’t required by law, employees may expect them, and they can encourage greater retention rates. Talk to local employees to see which benefits they appreciate the most, whether it’s additional private health insurance options, performance-based bonuses, or stock options.
Restrictions for benefits and compensation
Companies cannot perform any activities in Algeria legally without a registered entity in the country. A subsidiary will allow you to hire employees, add them to your payroll, and give out benefits, but it could take months to get there. G-P offers an alternative solution. We’ll use our Algeria EOR to pay employees and provide benefits right away while managing all matters of compliance, so you don’t have to.
