# Employer of record (India): Employer of record in India: hire without an entity.

Found the right person in India? We become their legal employer and handle contract, payroll, taxes and benefits. They work full-time for you.

## Who does what

You run the work. We run the employment.

1. **You**: Choose, manage, set salary
2. **We employ**: Contract under Indian law
3. **We pay**: Payroll, TDS, PF, ESI
4. **One invoice**: To you, monthly

## What's covered

### Contracts

Compliant employment contracts, with IP and confidentiality in your favour.

### Payroll and tax

Salaries on time, payslips, TDS and year-end forms.

### Statutory compliance

PF, ESI, professional tax and gratuity managed and filed.

### Benefits and leave

Health insurance and leave policies people want.

### Onboarding

Offer, checks, documents and laptop before day one.

### Offboarding

Notice, full and final settlement and exit paperwork.

## EOR or your own entity?

For a small team, EOR is faster and simpler. If you build a large team, an entity may make sense later; we can help with that move.

|   | Employer of record | Your own entity |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Time to hire | As soon as they accept | After incorporation and registrations |
| Setup cost | None | Legal and accounting fees |
| Ongoing admin | Ours | Payroll, filings, audits, a local director |
| Best for | One to a few dozen people | Large, long-term teams |

> **No one in mind yet?** We can recruit for the role in India, then employ them through EOR.
