What Is an Employer of Record in Egypt?
An Employer of Record in Egypt is a licensed local entity that legally employs staff on behalf of a foreign company, while that company retains full control over the employee’s day-to-day work. Africa Deployments’EOR Egypt service covers compliant contract drafting under Labor Law No. 14 of 2025, social insurance registration with the National Organization for Social Insurance (NOSI), salary tax withholding, statutory leave administration, and work permit support for expatriates.
Beyond EOR, Africa Deployments also supports companies that want a PEO Egypt co-employment arrangement, plus standalone payroll Egypt outsourcing for businesses that already hold a local entity but want compliant EGP payroll and social insurance reporting handled externally.

Payroll, Tax and Social Insurance Compliance in Egypt
Egyptian payroll runs on two parallel obligations: progressive salary income tax withheld and remitted to the Egyptian Tax Authority, and mandatory registration with the National Organization for Social Insurance (NOSI), Egypt’s social insurance authority under Law No. 148 of 2019. Employers contribute 18.75% of the insurable salary, with employees contributing 11%, calculated within a minimum and maximum insurable wage band that rose from EGP 2,300-14,500 to EGP 2,700-16,700 effective 1 January 2026, with further 15% annual increases scheduled through 2027.
Because insurable wage caps rise every January and Egypt’s Labor Law itself was substantially updated in 2025, payroll systems running on prior-year figures will misstate both employer cost and employee take-home pay. This is the compliance gap Africa Deployments’ EOR and payroll Egypt services are built to close.
