G-P provides employer of record services for customers that want to hire employees and run payroll without first establishing a branch office or subsidiary in Malawi.

Hiring in Malawi
Malawi is located in East Africa and has a population of more than 19 million. The capital city of Malawi is Lilongwe which has a population of than one million. The Portuguese reached the area in the 16th century and gave the first written reports on the people of Malawi. The Portuguese were also responsible for the introduction of corn to the region. Corn would eventually replace sorghum as the staple of the Malawian diet.

Employment Contracts in Malawi
In Malawi, employment contracts can be oral or written, but it is best practice to put a strong, written contract in place, in Chichewa, which spells out the terms of the employee’s compensation, benefits, and termination requirements. An offer letter and employment contract in Malawi should always state the salary and any compensation amounts in Malawian Kwacha rather than a foreign currency. The employment contract template is part of the service with G-P; no need to draft a separate template if you use our employer of record and PEO service in Malawi.
