Employment in Philippines
Employ in the Philippines without establishing a local entity
The EOR pricing model in the Philippines is typically based on a fixed monthly fee per employee. This fee generally includes payroll administration, employment agreements, onboarding, statutory contributions management, HR support, employee benefits administration, and ongoing compliance management.
Compared to establishing a Philippine legal entity, an EOR significantly reduces setup costs and administrative complexity. Companies avoid incorporation expenses, local registrations, payroll infrastructure investments, and ongoing compliance administration. This predictable cost structure enables organizations to scale efficiently while remaining compliant with Philippine employment regulations.
