Employer of Record (EOR)

An EOR is a legal entity that employs workers on behalf of your company in a country where you have no registered presence. The EOR handles employment contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, tax compliance, and HR administration, while you retain full day-to-day management of the employee's work.

EOR is ideal when you want to hire one or a few employees quickly in a new country without the cost (USD 20,000–80,000+) and time (3–6 months) of entity incorporation. It is also used for market-entry pilots, project-based hires, or when retaining talent in countries you plan to exit.

A PEO co-employs your workers alongside your existing entity. The PEO manages payroll processing, benefits administration, statutory compliance, and HR admin, while you remain the employer of record for management purposes. PEO requires your company to have a registered presence in the country.

With EOR, InTalent Asia is the legal employer, ideal for new markets with no entity. With PEO, your company retains the employer relationship, and we act as the co-employer and HR outsourcing partner for compliance and payroll. Both give you expert HR management; the right model depends on your entity situation.

InTalent Asia provides EOR and PEO services across 20+ countries including Sri Lanka, UAE, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Nepal, Australia, UK, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific target country.
