UNDERSTANDING YOUR ENVIRONMENTAn approach rooted in the realities of your sector.
Construction and infrastructure projects involve changing teams, several contractors and sites with specific constraints.
COMMON POINTS OF ATTENTION- Management of project-related contracts and assignments
- Tracking of working hours, attendance and variable pay
- Coordination between companies, contractors and deployed staff
- Retention of evidence and control of employer obligations
How GHR can help
- Labour Code (Law L/2014/072/CNT)
- Social Security Code: CNSS contributions, workplace accidents and occupational diseases
- General Tax Code: pay-as-you-earn tax (RTS) and flat-rate payroll tax (VF)
- Order No. 922 of 2025 on the social report
Which contract should be used for a construction project?
It depends on the duration and nature of the need: fixed-term contract, contract tied to the duration of the project or open-ended contract. The choice has consequences when the project ends; we help you choose the right contract and draft it.
How should a work stoppage be handled?
An interruption of activity may, under certain conditions, justify a temporary lay-off, with the staff delegates and the labour inspectorate informed. Our “Temporary lay-off” article sets out the rules; we can support you.
Can you supply personnel for a project?
Yes. We can recruit for you or provide personnel for the duration of the project, within a clear contractual framework.

Overtime
Definition, 100-hour quota, 30% and 60% premiums, night work and public holidays, maximum working hours and the payslip: the rules on overtime.

Temporary lay-off (technical unemployment)
Accepted causes, informing union delegates and the labour inspectorate, maximum duration, an allowance of at least 30% and employees’ rights: how to suspend activity without terminating contracts.

What an employee costs in Guinea: social contributions and payroll taxes
CNSS, RTS, VF (flat-rate payroll tax), apprenticeship tax or ONFPP: the deductions on every salary, the 25% rule for allowances, a worked example from gross pay to employer cost, and the deadlines.
Let’s discuss your sector’s constraints.
Together we define the scope, priorities and deliverables of a possible assignment.
These issues are examples of possible situations, not findings about a particular company or sector. Any legal analysis depends on the applicable texts and the facts.
