Employer of Record, Answered
What is an Employer of Record (EOR) in India?
An EOR legally employs staff on your behalf in India — contracts, payroll, statutory contributions and compliance — while you direct their day-to-day work. You get a compliant Indian team without setting up an Indian entity.
How fast can we hire through PayrollStaff's EOR?
Once a candidate accepts, contracts and onboarding are typically completed within days, and the first payroll runs on the next monthly cycle.
Who handles PF, ESI, gratuity and tax for EOR employees?
PayrollStaff does, as the legal employer — every statutory contribution, filing and year-end form is handled and reported back to you.
