Employer of Record in Egypt: what's specific

Egyptian EOR covers income tax, social insurance (Law 148/2019 tiered contributions), and end-of-service gratuity provisioning. Ministry of Manpower registration is required for direct employers — the EOR is already registered.

From $449/employee/month

EOR seat cost

~19–26% depending on tier

Social insurance employer

Accrued monthly, payable on termination

End-of-service gratuity

Egypt employer of record compliance

Statute

Labour Law 12/2003; Social Insurance Law 148/2019; Income Tax Law 91/2005.

Language

Employment contracts executed in Arabic (client can provide English translation).

End-of-service gratuity

Statutory payment on termination; accrual factor set by Labour Law.

Ministry of Manpower

Direct employment requires MoM registration; EOR is registered, so the client sidesteps this step.

What's different here

Egypt's Social Insurance Law 148/2019 introduced a tiered contribution base with an insurable ceiling that rises annually. The EOR recalculates contributions each January to match the new ceiling — clients see the pass-through cost change on the January payroll.
