Employer of Record in India 

Introduction 

The employer of record is a third-party firm that manages the whole hiring process for its clients  globally including payroll, employment contracts defining their roles and responsibilities,  employee benefits, taxes, etc. These firms do not take the position of a company’s human  resources department; rather, they're meant to supplement it.  

If you want to hire workers from outside the country where your company operates, you'll need  to set up a subsidiary in each of the countries where you want to hire, which will take months  following several rules of that particular country. But with EOR, you don't need to have a local  company to hire staff globally as EOR takes the responsibility for all the legal hiring formalities. 

Similarly, the employer of record India helps its onshore clients in hiring the workforce from  India. The staff is hired on behalf of the remote client, but the employer of record India takes  care of all the hiring formalities by saving their remote clients a lot of time at less pricing.
