An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party service provider that assumes the legal responsibilities of employing workers on behalf of another company. This model is particularly advantageous for businesses looking to expand into countries in the Asia Pacific region like Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and, Taiwan without the need to establish a legal entity in each country.

How Does an Employer of Record Work?

An EOR becomes the legal employer for your international staff while your company retains control over the employees’ daily activities. Key responsibilities of an EOR include:

    • Compliance: Ensuring adherence to local labor laws and regulations.

For example, if your company based in Germany wishes to hire employees in Malaysia, the EOR will handle employment contracts, payroll, and tax compliance in Malaysia, allowing you to focus on your core business.
