Frequently Asked Questions about Manpower's EOR Service

What is an Employer of Record (EOR) service?

To be able to hire workers, employers are required in many countries to have a local entity, such as a foreign subsidiary. This can be a costly and time-consuming process, though. This is where EOR services come in.
EOR stands for Employer of Record, a service that acts as the legal employer of your workers on your behalf. EOR services providers have expert knowledge and are acquainted with local employment regulations. They can ensure compliance while taking care of a wide scope of work of hiring workers in other countries, such as:
  • Recruiting
  • Labor contract
  • Onboarding process (including business visa/work permit and residence card)
  • Payrolling
  • Health Insurance & Social Insurance
  • Personal income tax (PIT) compliance
  • Employee relation management

What does an EOR provider handle?

An EOR provider manages the administrative and legal aspects of employment, ensuring employees are hired, paid, and supported in full compliance with local regulations, while your company retains day-to-day management of their work.

How long does it take to set up an EOR arrangement?

We can provide a quotation within 2 working hours after receiving the required information. Once the quotation is approved and all necessary documents are submitted, the setup process typically takes a few business days, depending on the complexity of the employment arrangement and compliance requirements.

Is EOR legal in Vietnam?

Yes. EOR is a compliant hiring solution in Vietnam when provided through a legally registered local employer. The EOR acts as the legal employer and manages all statutory employment obligations, including employment contracts, payroll, social insurance contributions, tax withholding, and employee benefits, in accordance with Vietnam's Labor Code No. 45/2019/QH14 and related social insurance and tax regulations.

What company size and industry is EOR suitable for?

Employer of Record (EOR) services can benefit companies of all sizes and across various industries, particularly:
  • Foreign companies looking to hire employees in Vietnam without establishing a local legal entity.
  • Businesses exploring the Vietnamese market before making a long-term investment.
  • Growing companies that need to scale teams quickly while minimizing administrative burden.
  • Organizations hiring remote employees or managing distributed teams across different locations in Vietnam.
  • Project-based businesses requiring rapid workforce deployment for short- or medium-term needs.
  • Companies seeking compliance support with Vietnam's labor laws, payroll, tax, and social insurance requirements.
Whether you need to hire one employee or an entire team, EOR services provide a fast, compliant, and cost-effective solution for workforce expansion in Vietnam.
