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

  1. You find the candidate (or we help headhunt)
  2. We draft a localized, compliant contract
  3. We run onboarding, registrations, payroll & benefits
  4. You receive one consolidated monthly invoice
