EOR in Vietnam FAQs

What does an Employer of Record (EOR) do in Vietnam?
An EOR is the legal employer of your team in Vietnam. It issues the employment contract, runs payroll, withholds and files income tax, enrols employees in statutory benefit schemes, and carries the compliance liability — so you can employ there without setting up a local entity.
What roles can I employ in Vietnam through an EOR?
Any role you would put on your own payroll — engineering, finance, marketing, sales, operations, customer support, HR, design, and management. EOR is a legal employment arrangement, not a role-specific service. The only exceptions are roles that Vietnam law reserves for licensed or entity-employed staff.
How fast can employees be onboarded in Vietnam?
Most employees can be onboarded within 5–10 business days, depending on documentation. Contracts, statutory registrations, and payroll setup run in parallel from day one.
Do I maintain control over the work?
Absolutely. You direct work responsibilities, reporting lines, performance management, and team culture. We handle the legal and administrative backend only.
How much does EOR in Vietnam cost?
Our EOR fee is a transparent monthly amount per employee, charged on top of their salary and the statutory employer contributions listed above. There are no upfront fees, no setup fees, and no hidden costs.
Can I convert existing Vietnam contractors to employees?
Yes. Long-term contractors who work fixed hours under your direction are a misclassification risk in Vietnam. We move them onto compliant employment contracts with the statutory entitlements they are owed, under our local entity.
Who owns the IP my Vietnam employees create?
You do. Every employment contract we issue includes IP assignment and confidentiality clauses drafted to be enforceable under Vietnam law.
Can I offer localized benefits to my Vietnam employees?
Yes. We administer local statutory benefits (health, leave, social insurance) plus any optional benefits you want to offer (private health, equipment stipends, learning budgets), all billed through the same monthly invoice.
