Why Companies Choose Kenya for Their East Africa Operations
Employer of Record Kenya
Employer of Record Kenya —
Hire and Manage Kenya Staff Without Entity Registration
An employer of record in Kenya is a third-party company that legally employs staff on behalf of your organisation. Two Max Group signs the employment contracts, runs payroll, files all statutory obligations, PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, and Housing Levy, and maintains full compliance under Kenya employment law, while you control who your staff are and the work they do.
Kenya is East Africa’s largest economy and its foremost technology hub, the “Silicon Savannah”. With a working-age population of 30 million, the second-highest English proficiency in Africa, and GDP growth of ~6% in 2026, the country attracts foreign companies at pace. The problem: getting legally operational takes time.
Kenya company incorporation under the Companies Act, 2015 involves the eCitizen portal, name reservation, certificate of incorporation, KRA PIN registration on iTax, and NSSF and SHA (SHIF) employer setup, typically 8-12 weeks in total before you can run a single legal payslip.
Employer of record services in Kenya remove that delay. Two Max Group employs your staff under our registered Nairobi entity. You interview, select, and manage your team, we issue the contracts, run the payroll, handle all statutory deductions, and manage HR compliance from day one.
When your own Kenyan entity is ready, we transfer the staff, contract novation, NSSF and KRA updates, payroll continuity, with no disruption to employees or their employment records. For a deeper dive into the legal framework and mechanics, read our comprehensive guide to how EOR works in Kenya.

Buying Decision FAQs
Questions Before You Commit
to Two Max Group EOR
Answers to the questions that come up when you're evaluating whether our employer of record service is the right fit for your Kenya hiring.
How is Two Max Group different from other EOR providers?
We are incorporated in Nairobi and have been operating Kenya EOR since 2011, with direct responsibility for your staff—not a global platform sub-contracting to a local partner. We know Kenya employment law inside out, have zero late filings on record, and charge transparent fixed fees ($150/employee/month) instead of percentage-based or hidden charges. When you're ready to register your own entity, we manage the full transfer with no payroll gap.
What happens if there is an employment dispute or KRA audit?
Two Max Group is the legal employer, so the compliance liability sits with us, not you. If a PAYE filing is late or an employee files an unfair dismissal claim at the Employment and Labour Relations Court, we are the named party. This is a significant risk transfer. You direct the work; we own the legal exposure and have the expertise to handle it.
Can we switch to our own Kenya entity later?
Yes, absolutely. This is a common path. When your Certificate of Incorporation is ready, we manage the full staff transfer: contract novation (rewriting the employment contract so it runs under your new entity), NSSF and KRA registration updates, payroll continuity, and any statutory notifications. The transfer typically takes 2-4 weeks with zero disruption to your employees or statutory filings.
What if we need to scale to 50+ employees?
EOR works best for teams up to 20 permanent staff. Above that, the per-employee cost of running your own Kenya subsidiary typically becomes more economical. We help you plan this transition and manage it seamlessly—we've done it many times. Some clients maintain their own entity for core staff and use EOR for contract/seasonal hires.
How do you handle payroll if an employee leaves mid-month?
We calculate their final pay according to the Employment Act: full pay for days worked plus any accrued leave, minus statutory deductions. If termination is without cause, we calculate severance at 15 days per year of service. All calculations are done by your dedicated HR consultant to ensure procedural fairness. You direct the termination; we handle the financial settlement.
What happens to employee data and records after we leave?
All employee records remain in secure ODPC-compliant storage for 7 years as required by Kenyan law. When you leave the EOR arrangement or transition to your own entity, we transfer all employment records and payroll history to you in a standardized format. Nothing is deleted; full history is preserved for statutory compliance.

IHRM Certified HR Consultants · Kenya practice since 2011
Employer of record services in Kenya allow a foreign or local company to legally employ staff without registering their own entity. Two Max Group, as your Employer of Record (EOR), signs the employment contracts, runs payroll, handles PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, and Housing Levy, and remains legally responsible for employment compliance, while you direct the day-to-day work.
Two Max Group deploys your Kenya team within 48 hours of engagement confirmation. Employment contracts are issued, NSSF and SHIF registrations activated, and KRA PAYE registration confirmed, all within two business days. Compare this to 8-12 weeks for company incorporation plus payroll setup.
No. That is the core benefit of employer of record services. Two Max Group acts as the legal employer under our own Nairobi-registered entity. You can hire Kenyan employees, run compliant payroll, and operate legally, without registering a local subsidiary.
Employer-side statutory costs in Kenya include: NSSF employer contribution (up to KES 6,480/month per employee from February 2026), Affordable Housing Levy (1.5% of gross salary), and NITA levy where applicable. Total employer statutory burden is approximately 8-10% of gross salary on top of salary costs. Employee-side deductions (PAYE at 10-35% and SHIF at 2.75%) are managed and remitted by Two Max Group.
Global EOR platforms typically charge US$349-$700 per employee per month for Kenya. Two Max Group charges a flat US$150 per employee per month, which includes payroll processing, PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and Housing Levy filings, Employment Act contracts, and HR advisory. As a Nairobi-based provider, we deliver the same statutory coverage without global-platform overheads.
The national minimum wage for urban general workers in Kenya is KES 16,114 per month. Sector-specific minimum wages are prescribed by General Wage Orders under the Labour Institutions Act. Two Max Group confirms the applicable minimum for each role at engagement.
The Employment Act, Cap 226 requires: 21 working days annual leave (after 12 months); 90 days fully paid maternity leave; 14 days fully paid paternity leave; 30 days sick leave per year; 12-13 public holidays annually. All entitlements are tracked and paid within the Two Max Group EOR payroll system.
The Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) replaced the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) in October 2024 under the Social Health Insurance Act 2023. SHIF is deducted at 2.75% of gross salary (employee contribution only). Two Max Group updated all client payrolls at transition with zero disruption to employees.
Two Max Group manages the full staff transfer. Employment contracts are novated from our entity to yours, NSSF and KRA registrations are updated, and payroll continuity is maintained with no gap in statutory filings or salary payments. The transition typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Yes. Two Max Group manages Class G work permit applications, Special Passes for short-term assignments (up to 3 months), and Dependent Passes for accompanying family members. We track all permit expiry dates and initiate renewals 90 days in advance to prevent any work authorisation gaps.
Under the Employment Act, redundancy severance is a minimum of 15 days' pay per completed year of service. A minimum notice period of 28 days (or pay in lieu) applies for monthly-paid employees. Two Max Group calculates all termination obligations and manages the procedural documentation so both substantive and procedural fairness are met.
Yes. Two Max Group is IHRM certified, KRA registered, and has operated employer of record services in Kenya since 2011. We are a Nairobi-incorporated company with 15+ years of Kenya Employment Act practice and zero statutory penalties on record across all client engagements.
A Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) is a co-employment model typically used by companies that already have a Kenyan entity registered. An Employer of Record is the sole legal employer, your company needs no Kenya entity. Most foreign companies entering Kenya require an EOR, not a PEO, unless they already have an incorporated subsidiary.
