Hiring contractors in Samoa can be a rollercoaster

If you’re looking to hire contractors in Samoa, you need to heed the Pacific Island country’s labor laws.

Whether you’re hiring freelancers in the capital of Apia or elsewhere in Western Samoa, Rippling can help you quickly grow your global team.
