Employer of Record and Contractor of Record in the Philippines

An Employer of Record employs the person locally on your behalf, handling payroll, tax, statutory benefits and compliance under Philippines law. A Contractor of Record engages the person as a properly structured contractor, with the documentation and payment flow that keeps the arrangement defensible. Which one you need depends on the role, the hours, the control you have over the work, and the risk tolerance you have.

• Local employment or contracting through our Philippines entity.
• Payroll, statutory contributions and end-of-year obligations.
• Standard NDAs, IP assignment and contract terms.
• Guidance on the things that stay your responsibility (like your own data approach).
• Cyber baseline via NordLayer and managed devices where required.

Businesses that already have or want offshore staff in any role and don't want to set up a Philippines entity. Also businesses running an existing offshore team through a freelance platform or direct contracts who want to move onto a compliant footing without disrupting the people.

Bring an existing Philippines-based team across to our entity. We handle the transition without changing who the people are or what they do. Current launch offer: your first full month's management fees are free when you lift-and-shift.

We hold the compliance the structure genuinely allows us to hold. Some risks stay yours (like decisions about your own data, or how you treat the person day to day). We tell you which is which up front rather than claiming to carry things we can't.
