Also, the contract must be put in a local language while ensuring that it spells out all the terms related to the employee’s compensation, termination, benefits, Botswana employment laws and Botswana employment contracts, and more. An offer letter in Botswana must also clearly mention the salary and other compensation-related benefits in local currency i.e. Botswana Pula instead of any foreign currency. However, if you hire an EOR, you need not require drafting a separate employment contract.
Full-time employees are those who are recruited by your firm to work exclusively for a dedicated amount of hours. They are entitled to receive a fixed salary along with fetching other statutory benefits. A termination notice is mandatory in case an employer decides to terminate the working relationship with a full-time employee.
Contractors are freelancers who are hired to work on a freelance basis. They are compensated based on project-basis and work as per the requirements. A hiring company is not liable to pay any statutory benefits to a contractor. Also, work can be terminated with an employee on a short notice period anytime.
