Expanding your team internationally is exciting—but it also comes with administrative challenges. For companies in Canada or the US looking to hire remote talent in the Philippines, deciding between setting up local payroll operations or outsourcing through an Employer of Record (EOR) is a major decision.
Let’s explore the key differences—and why an EOR is often the smarter, safer, and more efficient option.
1. Cost-Efficiency Without the Headaches
In-House Payroll: To legally employ talent in the Philippines, you’d typically need to set up a legal entity, subscribe to local payroll software, hire HR/payroll staff, and manage ongoing filings. These costs add up fast—especially for small and mid-sized businesses.
With an EOR: You don’t need to set up a local entity. We handle everything from employment contracts and onboarding to monthly payroll and government reporting. You pay a simple, transparent fee—no hidden infrastructure or compliance costs.
2. Full Compliance With Philippine Labor Laws
Employment regulations in the Philippines are complex and ever-evolving—from mandatory benefits and contributions (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG) to 13th-month pay and local holidays.
Managing this yourself? Risky.
With an EOR: We ensure every local labor law is followed, taxes are filed accurately, and all statutory contributions are paid on time. This minimizes the risk of penalties, misclassification, or non-compliance.
3. Faster Hiring, Seamless Onboarding
Setting up a new entity or local payroll system can take months. With our EOR service, you can hire in the Philippines in a matter of days.
We manage:
Localized employment contracts
Statutory benefit registration
Government filings
Monthly payslips and remittances
Your new team members get onboarded quickly and professionally—without the legal roadblocks.
4. Data Security & Peace of Mind
Payroll data is sensitive. Managing it in-house without advanced systems can leave your business open to breaches or errors.
Our EOR platform uses encrypted, secure systems with access controls that keep both your company and your employee data protected at every step.
5. Scalability for Growing Teams
Whether you’re hiring one remote assistant or building a 50-person offshore team, an EOR gives you flexibility. You can scale up or down without worrying about legal exposure, infrastructure, or long-term commitments.
