Social Security Compliance in Rwanda

Compliances in Rwanda

Social security compliance in Rwanda is a legal obligation for all employers and a vital aspect of responsible business management. The Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB) oversees contributions related to pensions, medical insurance, and occupational hazards for employees across both the public and private sectors.

Ensuring proper registration and monthly contributions not only keeps your business compliant but also protects your workforce, enhances employee satisfaction, and avoids penalties or legal disputes.
