What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs your workforce in a foreign country. The EOR takes responsibility for:
- Employment contracts compliant with Indian laws
- Payroll processing and tax deductions
- Statutory benefits and social contributions
- HR administration and compliance
- Employee onboarding and offboarding
This allows your company to enter the Indian market quickly, compliantly, and cost-effectively.
