Recruitment and onboarding
Local recruitment, compliant contracts and digital onboarding.
You have found the person before you have the entity. Employer of record services at ACCUREX make the hire possible: we are the compliant Kenyan employer on paper, while your business directs the work.
Setting up a subsidiary takes months of registration, tax enrolment and reporting commitments that an early hire does not need. An employer of record carries those commitments as the legal employer of record, so the hire can start on a compliant contract from day one. ACCUREX stands in that place for international companies and development organisations hiring in Kenya, and for global EOR platforms that need an in-country partner.
Each engagement covers the lifecycle of the hire:
Local recruitment, compliant contracts and digital onboarding.
Registration of the employee with the right authorities, with payroll and remittances to follow.
Monthly payroll, with PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy, NITA and HELB handled under the Payroll Outsourcing cycle.
Benefits administration, day-to-day employee relations and worker records.
Work permit and pass coordination through licensed advisers.
Final dues and a certificate of service, prepared to Kenyan law.
Kenya direct, with Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia reached through vetted in-country partners.
Share the role, the country and the start date, and a proposal for the EOR arrangement will follow.
Discuss an EOR arrangementThe role, the location, the start date and the budget are confirmed, and the right EOR model is agreed.
A compliant Kenyan contract is issued, the hire is onboarded digitally, and work permits are started where needed.
Payroll runs each month, statutory returns are filed, and day-to-day employee relations sit with ACCUREX.
Monthly reporting goes to the client, and the arrangement is reviewed as the headcount or scope changes.
A named consultant owns the arrangement across Kenya and East Africa.
ACCUREX works as a white-label or disclosed local partner to global EOR providers in Kenya.
Pass-through costs are charged at actual cost, and data exports to your platforms are clean.
International companies entering Kenya, development organisations and global EOR providers use employer of record companies when they need to hire before an entity exists, or alongside one. ACCUREX is a Kenyan EOR company, so the contract, the payroll and the records sit under Kenyan law.
An employer of record is a provider that is the legal employer of your hire on paper, so you can engage someone compliantly before you have a local entity. It fits early hires, short projects or a country you are testing, where a subsidiary would be premature.
ACCUREX. The hire's Kenyan contract names ACCUREX, and the payslip is issued by ACCUREX. Your business directs the work through a service agreement between the two companies, and the hire reports to your team.
Payroll runs on PiPO HRIS, with PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy, NITA and HELB handled under the Payroll Outsourcing cycle. Digital payslips reach employees through the self-service portal. The remittance dates for each authority are on the Payroll Outsourcing page.
Yes. Work permit and pass coordination is handled through licensed advisers, so the regulated steps sit with the right professionals and the EOR engagement runs alongside them. The timeline for permits is confirmed in the scoping stage.
The Employment Act, 2007, the Work Injury Benefits Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the data-protection framework apply to anyone employed in Kenya. The contract, the pay, the leave and the termination route all follow Kenyan law, whichever country the client is in.
Yes. ACCUREX works as a white-label or disclosed local partner to global EOR providers in Kenya, so a provider that uses ACCUREX on the ground stays compliant locally while keeping the client relationship. The partnership mode is agreed up front.
ACCUREX carries the employer obligations; the client directs the work under a service agreement. A June 2026 ELRC ruling, as reported by The Standard, let outsourced workers claim the host's collective agreement, and that bears on EOR. Each engagement sets out where liability sits.
Offboarding runs to Kenyan law: notice, final dues, a certificate of service, and release of the employee file. The sequence is agreed when the role is scoped, so an exit at any stage uses the same route.
Kenya is handled directly. Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia are reached through vetted in-country partners, with ACCUREX as the regional point of accountability. The scope and the local employer are set out country by country in the proposal.
Costs are passed through at actual cost, with the ACCUREX service charged separately in the proposal. Monthly data exports go to the client's HR, payroll or EOR platform in the format agreed at scoping, so the records sit alongside the rest of the global team's.
A conversation about the country, the role and the start date is where every EOR arrangement begins. The model, the compliance and the fee follow in the proposal.
