Employer of Record (EOR) Explained: Your Guide to Hiring in Vietnam
Expanding your team into Vietnam can unlock outstanding talent — but entity setup and compliance are a maze. An Employer of Record (EOR) lets you hire quickly, legally, and without opening a local company.
1) What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An EOR is your local HR/legal employer of record. You manage the person’s day-to-day work; the EOR handles compliant contracts, payroll, tax withholding, statutory benefits, and labor-law compliance in Vietnam.
2) When should you use an EOR?
- Testing a new market without opening an entity
- Hiring quickly for time-sensitive projects
- Small initial headcount where entity costs don’t pencil out
- Ensuring full legal compliance and avoiding misclassification risks
3) Key benefits in Vietnam
- Speed to market (onboard in days)
- Reduced legal/HR risk with local expertise
- Cost-effective vs. entity setup and admin
- Focus on core product and growth
4) How the EOR process works
- You find the candidate (or we help headhunt)
- We draft a localized, compliant contract
- We run onboarding, registrations, payroll & benefits
- You receive one consolidated monthly invoice
