Your candidate is hired via Globalization Partners’ Gambia PEO in accordance with local labor laws and can be onboarded in days instead of the months it typically takes. The individual is assigned to work on your team, working on your company’s behalf exactly as if he or she were your employee to fulfill your in-country requirements.

Hiring in Gambia
Gambia is located in Africa and has a population of 2.45 million. The capital city of Gambia is Banjul which has a population of 459,000. The Portuguese were the first European explorers, encountering the Gambia River in 1455, and in 1681, the French founded an enclave at Albredabut. During the 17th century, Gambia was settled by various companies of English merchants.

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