🇧🇩 FAQs about PEO in Nigeria

A PEO is used when you already have a legal entity in Nigeria and need help managing HR, payroll, compliance, and employee benefits. In contrast, an EOR is the legal employer of your staff, ideal when you don't have a legal entity established. Aniday offers both models, depending on your structure and expansion stage.

Even under a PEO model, your company must comply with all employment-related laws. This includes adherence to the Nigeria Labor Code, registration of employees with social insurance authorities, and proper taxation. Aniday ensures all filings, contracts, and records are accurate and submitted on time.

Employers are required to provide:

  • Pension Scheme contributions (10% of base wage each for employee and employer)
  • Annual leave (1 day for every 18 days worked, ~21-22 days/year)
  • 11 days of public or religious holidays
  • Maternity leave (12 weeks paid for eligible employees)
  • Gratuity (1 month's basic salary per completed year after 5+ years)

Aniday manages contributions and reporting monthly on your behalf.

No. For full compliance, salaries must be paid through a local entity or a PEO provider registered in Nigeria. Aniday administers all salary disbursements through compliant Nigeriai banking channels.

Aniday calculates and withholds all necessary payroll taxes, including:

  • Personal Income Tax (progressive rates on income above NGN 300,000/year)
  • Pension Scheme contributions (employer and employee portions)
  • Industrial Training Fund (ITF) - 1% of annual payroll if company is profitable

We also manage monthly tax declarations and filings with the tax authorities.

Nigeria has strict rules around termination. All dismissals must be legally justified and follow correct procedures. Minimum notice period is 120 days for employees with over 1 year of service. Termination without proper cause or documentation can lead to compensation penalties. Aniday assists with compliant exits and severance calculations.

Companies that are profitable must contribute 1% of annual payroll into the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). This is a mandatory requirement under Nigeria labor law for profitable companies. Aniday ensures proper calculation and contribution to this fund.
