Staff and manpower outsourcing in Ghana: common questions
Last reviewed: 5 October 2026. Sources: GRA PAYE bands, Act 1178, SSNIT 2026 insurable earnings, VAT Act, 2025 (Act 1151), GRA Acts. The Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) still governs employment; a new Labour Bill is expected but has not been passed as at this date.
The cost of outsourcing staff in Ghana has four parts: gross salaries, the employer's 13% SSNIT contribution on basic salary plus any benefits, the outsourcing company's fee, and 20% VAT on the invoice. People & Partners Group charges 3% to 15% of gross monthly salaries (basic plus allowances), not basic salary alone, depending on headcount, salary range and service, with a minimum fee per employee per month. Use the calculator above for your exact figure.
Manpower outsourcing, also called manpower supply or staff outsourcing, means an outsourcing company employs the workers your business needs and supplies them to you. People & Partners Group recruits and vets the staff, issues their contracts, pays salaries, files PAYE and SSNIT, and manages Labour Act compliance, while the staff work at your business under your direction.
Yes. We supply temporary and contract staff for projects, seasonal peaks, events and leave cover, paid daily, weekly or monthly. Under Ghana's Labour Act, a temporary worker employed continuously by the same employer for six months or more is treated as a permanent worker, so we plan assignment lengths and any move to permanent terms with you. Use "Temporary Staff" in the calculator to request a quote.
Staff outsourcing for 50 staff on GHS 3,000 basic salary each, at our published 13% rate for 11 to 50 staff: gross salaries GHS 150,000 + employer SSNIT at 13% GHS 19,500 + PPG fee at 13% of gross GHS 19,500 = GHS 189,000, plus 20% VAT GHS 37,800 = GHS 226,800 a month, about GHS 4,536 per person. A one-off setup fee and a refundable deposit of two months' costs apply at the start. Your exact quote depends on your pay groups, benefits and service.
Yes. We employ and manage teams of any size, from 1 person upward. Teams of up to 10 pay our top rate with a minimum monthly fee of GHS 2,000, plus a one-off setup fee, because payroll, statutory filing and HR support cost the same to run for one person as for ten.
An employer of record is the legal employer of your staff. People & Partners Group issues the contracts, runs payroll, deducts PAYE and SSNIT, files with GRA and SSNIT, and handles exits under the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), while the staff work for your business day to day.
The employer pays 13% of basic salary to SSNIT, and the employee contributes 5.5%. Of the 18.5% total, 13.5% goes to SSNIT (Tier 1) and 5% to a Tier 2 pension trustee. In 2026 contributions apply to basic salary between GHS 587.79 and GHS 69,000 a month. Many employers add a Tier 3 provident fund, medical cover, a bonus or 13th month, and leave cover.
Yes. As the employer of record, we charge 20% VAT (15% VAT, 2.5% NHIL and 2.5% GETFund) on the full invoice, salaries and fee together. VAT-registered clients can usually claim it back as input tax. Clients with a verified exemption are handled directly by our finance team.
With payroll outsourcing, your company stays the employer and we process salaries and statutory filings. With staff outsourcing, we become the employer of record: we recruit, contract, pay and manage staff who work at your business, and replace those who leave. With full HR outsourcing, your company stays the employer and we run HR for your own employees: payroll, a dedicated HR business partner, HR administration and Labour Act compliance.
Every unmanaged people risk is a reason more Ghana businesses turn to staff outsourcing.
Late or wrong salaries erode staff trust, and missed PAYE or SSNIT filings bring penalties and interest from GRA and SSNIT.
Recruiting, vetting and replacing tellers, clinical support staff, hotel crews, drivers, sales teams and operators pulls your HR team off strategic work.
Contracts, leave records and disciplinary processes that do not follow the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) become legal liability.
A lean HR team covering staff across branches, wards or sites has no time left for retention and performance work.

How outsourcing pricing works in Ghana: a percentage of gross salaries.
Our monthly fee is 3% to 15% of gross monthly salaries (basic, allowances and overtime). The rate falls as your team grows and depends on your salary range and service. If the percentage comes out lower than our minimum for your team size, the minimum applies.
| Team size | Minimum monthly fee |
|---|---|
| 1 to 10 staff | GHS 2,000 |
| 11 to 50 staff | GHS 5,000 |
| 51 to 100 staff | GHS 10,000 |
| 101 staff and above | GHS 15,000 |
A one-off setup fee and a refundable deposit of two months' costs apply at the start. VAT at 20% applies to the full invoice; VAT-registered clients can usually reclaim it.
