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