Once you've determined the best Lesotho payroll option for your company, you'll need to collect some information from employees in order to add them to your payroll. Begin by acquiring their personal identification number, tax deduction card, and emergency contact information. When an employee begins working and provides you with their tax deduction card, they become a part of the social security system and are eligible for benefits.
As a business, you must consider your own tax obligations as well as those of your employees. Lesotho has two tax brackets for personal income: 20% and 30%. As part of a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system, you must deduct these income taxes directly from an employee's paycheck. Manufacturing and commercial farming operations must pay a 10% corporate income tax, while other businesses must pay a 25% tax.
Lesotho has its own value-added tax (VAT), which includes:
1. Exports and basic commodities: 0%
2. Electricity: 9%
3. Telecommunications: 12%
4. Other goods and services: 15%
Companies that wish to expand their operations globally have four different payroll options in Lesotho. These payroll options are:
1. Internal Payroll. This payroll option is applicable for already established companies in Lesotho. It includes devoting an entire Human Resources staff to running the company's payroll procedures.
2. Remote Payroll. Smaller firms may lack the capacity to handle their own payroll, but they may add their workers to the parent company's payroll. This action, on the other hand, requires considerable thinking. You must guarantee that you follow the rules and laws of each nation.
Working with a local outsourcing firm is one method to retain money in the local economy, but you'll still need to study all of the local rules and regulations, since you'll be held responsible.
3. Lesotho payroll outsourcing: Outsourcing your payroll to an Employer of Record in Lesotho, such as Rivermate, is another alternative for Andorra payroll outsourcing. We can manage all aspects of your payroll, including compliance. Send us a note and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
It is the obligation of the employer to ensure that all payroll-related transactions are properly documented and recorded. All salaries and compensation payments must adhere to the local minimum wage as well as other applicable laws and regulations.

Employment contracts in Lesotho can be oral or written, but it is better to have a robust, written contract in English that details the employee's remuneration, perks, and termination criteria.
Lesotho's minimum wage varies according to sector and can range between 686 and 5,711 maloti per month.
In a five- or six-day reference period, normal working hours are 45 hours per week. Daily working hours are 9 hours for a five-day workweek, while for a six-day workweek, daily working hours are 8 hours for five days and 5 hours for the sixth.
Working hours provisions do not apply to employees in family businesses or to employees in management positions.
Compensation for working on a weekly rest day/public holiday is 100%, which means that workers earn 200 percent of their normal wage rate on weekly rest days and/or public holidays. Employers have the option of paying double wages or providing a fully compensated compensatory rest day on public holidays.
When creating a Lesotho benefits management plan, your first priority should be to include statutory benefits. Employees have the right to at least 12 working days of annual leave per year, or one day for every month of continuous employment with your company. They can also choose to receive a cash payment and take only six days of statutory annual leave. Lesotho also observes ten public holidays, which are required to be paid days off for employees under the Public Holidays Act.
Maternity leave should be at least 14 weeks long, and female employees should be paid at least two-thirds of their regular salary while on leave. Employees should have free access to medical and midwife care, and they should be protected from dismissal or other discriminatory treatment while on leave.
