Everything You Need to Know to Hire Compliantly in Egypt
Recent Developments in Egypt (2025)
Employment law is always evolving, and staying compliant means staying informed. At Dimondra, we continuously monitor legislative updates, so you don't have to. Here are the most notable changes shaping Egypt's employment landscape in 2025:
Employer of Record in Egypt
Expanding your team in Egypt doesn't have to mean opening a local entity, a process that's often costly and time-consuming. Using an Employer of Record (EOR) lets you hire talent in Egypt quickly and compliantly, without the need to establish a legal presence. It's a smart, efficient way to handle onboarding, payroll, contracts, and local compliance, all while reducing risk and saving resources.
Employment Contracts in Egypt
Employment contracts in Egypt must meet specific legal and cultural standards, and getting them right is essential to staying compliant and avoiding disputes. At Dimondra, we help you navigate everything from contract structure to local expectations. Whether you're hiring on a fixed-term basis or offering remote roles, we ensure your agreements meet Egyptian labor laws.
We'll assist with:
- Setting clear and lawful contract terms
- Managing fixed-term contracts and renewals
- Understanding requirements for remote work arrangements
- Defining working hours, overtime rules, and entitlements
Payroll & Benefits in Egypt
Managing employee compensation in Egypt means more than just meeting legal requirements—it's about understanding the full picture. From minimum wage and mandatory benefits to local customs around pay and bonuses, there's a lot to consider to keep your workforce satisfied and your business compliant.
At Dimondra, we help you navigate both the regulations and the cultural expectations that shape payroll in Egypt, so you can pay your team accurately, fairly, and on time.
Leave and Time Off in Egypt
Understanding employee leave entitlements is key to staying compliant and building a supportive work environment. In Egypt, employers must provide paid annual leave, observe public holidays, and meet legal requirements for maternity and parental leave.
Dimondra helps you stay on top of local leave policies so your employees get the time off they’re entitled to and your business stays protected.
Employee Protections in Egypt
When hiring in Egypt, it’s essential to understand the legal safeguards in place for workers. Failing to comply with these regulations can put your business at serious risk, but staying compliant helps you build trust and a stronger team.
Egyptian labor law includes clear standards around:
- Whistleblower rights and protections
- Employee data handling and privacy
- Fair treatment of temporary and agency workers
- Anti-discrimination rules in hiring and the workplace
- Equal pay requirements across roles and genders
Ending Employment in Egypt
Knowing how to properly end an employment relationship is just as important as starting one. In Egypt, there are specific rules you need to follow when it comes to terminations, notice periods, and employee rights after leaving.
At Dimondra, we help you manage exits smoothly and legally, with guidance on:
- Required notice periods
- Lawful grounds and procedures for termination
- Restrictions after employment ends (non-competes, etc.)
- Employee rights during business transfers or restructuring
