Find your employer of record in Algeria

The labor law does not establish more common benefits for the citizens of Algeria.

One thing to consider when working with contractor management services is that they will require a visa for foreign employees. For the rest, there are three types of visa in the country, namely tourist, business, and work. However, you will be able to find embassies in the capitals of many countries but not many consulates to carry out the procedures.

Additionally, the work visa is the most difficult to obtain since you need documents from the Ministry of Labor. In addition, the employee will need a contract, as well as a work permit. Although this process can be quite lengthy, we recommend working with an Employer of record to make it easier.

In Algeria, this tax is 19%.

Termination Process

In Algeria, the employer must provide notice of dismissal absence and serious misconduct to the employee. At the same time, the employee must receive compensation, which can be paid through a PEO, under the next conditions:

• Has completed at least 2 years of service in the company.
• If the reason for the termination was not your misconduct.

Notice Period

The mandatory notification period is 6 months but for specialized employees, it is 12 months. In addition, you must add 5 days for each year of service up to a maximum of 30 days.

Severance Pay

The Algerian Labor Law and Legislative Decree No. 94-09 of May 26, 1994, the employer can terminate employment for redundancy. However, they may only do so if there are economic reasons to take such action. Likewise, all possible measures must have been exhausted to avoid redundancy, which you can find out about through the Employer of record in Algeria.

Besides, redundancy needs a compulsory procedure, which is decided by collective bargaining involving the local labor administration.

On the other hand, the compensation will depend on the length of service of the employee in the company, as explained below:

• Mandatory – 1 month
• Collective agreement – 1 month
• Minimum employee period – 12 months

Probation Period

When you hire employees in Algeria, you should consider that the trial period is generally 6 months.

Paid Time Offs

Algerian Labor Law states that employees must receive 30 days of paid vacation per year. In contrast, employees working in the southern provinces receive 40 days of paid vacation.

Public Holidays

There are 12 national holidays throughout the year.

Vacation Holidays

There are 30 vacation holidays throughout the year.

Sick Days

With payroll outsourcing, you can have an exact calculation of the sick pay of the worker. Thus, employees must receive half salary during the first 15 days and full salary from day 16 onwards. They are also entitled to full salary if the employee must be hospitalized before the 16th day.

Likewise, this leave and the refund of medical expenses are paid by the National Fund of Social Security in Algeria. Also, this payment comes from employer and employee Social Security contributions.
