In today’s connected world, expanding into new markets like Vietnam presents exciting growth opportunities. However, hiring and managing talent in a new country also comes with complex legal, cultural, and administrative challenges.
This is where the Employer of Record (EOR) model comes in — a smart, scalable solution that enables international companies to hire legally and operate compliantly in Vietnam without having to establish a local legal entity.
What is an EOR?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that serves as the legal employer on behalf of a foreign business. The EOR handles all local employment-related tasks, including:
• Drafting and signing legal employment contracts
• Managing payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits
• Ensuring full compliance with local labor laws
• Supporting work permits and visas for foreign employees
• Handling offboarding and local HR processes
• Monitoring legal updates and ensuring ongoing compliance
Meanwhile, the client company retains full operational control — managing the employee’s day-to-day tasks, goals, and performance.
Why Global Companies Choose EOR
EOR isn’t just a workaround — it’s a strategic business enabler, especially when agility, cost-efficiency, and compliance are key.
Benefits of the EOR model include:
• No need to set up a local entity
• Minimized legal and administrative risks
• Faster market entry and workforce onboarding
• Full compliance with Vietnamese labor laws and tax regulations
• Cost-effective HR and payroll management
• Scalable hiring with operational flexibility
Whether you’re launching a pilot team or planning a long-term presence, EOR empowers your growth without heavy infrastructure investment.
