Frequently asked questions
What is an Employer of Record (EOR) in Vietnam?
An EOR legally employs your Vietnam-based staff on your behalf - handling labor contracts, payroll, personal income tax, and statutory insurance - while you direct their day-to-day work. It lets you hire in Vietnam without setting up a local company.
What does the monthly EOR fee cover?
The recurring fee of US$350 per employee per month covers EOR administration. Employee gross salary, employer social/health/unemployment insurance contributions, PIT, bonuses, overtime, and statutory payments are separate and passed through at cost.
Can you handle shift work, night shifts, and 24/7 operations payroll?
Yes. We support rotating shifts, night shift allowances, weekend and public holiday pay, and overtime calculation frameworks - including timesheet approval processes for support, operations, and monitoring teams running 24/7.
How quickly can an employee start through EOR?
Contract and compliance setup typically takes 1–2 weeks, with employee onboarding completed in about a week after that. From then on, payroll, tax, and HR administration run on a monthly cycle.
