Frequently Asked Questions

EOR (Employer of Record) is an employment model suitable for companies without a local legal entity. With EOR, we act as the legal employer for your employees, handling payroll, benefits, taxes, social insurance, and other compliance-related tasks, while you focus on the day-to-day work and operations of your business.

PEO (Professional Employer Organization) is suitable for companies with a local legal entity. It provides HR outsourcing services such as employee recruitment, payroll management, and benefits. EOR, on the other hand, is designed for companies without a local entity and helps them hire employees in a compliant manner, ensuring legal employment and regulatory adherence.

If you do not have a legal entity in China and need to quickly hire employees, EOR is the best option. If you already have a local entity but need to outsource certain HR functions, PEO is more suitable. If you only need payroll processing and compliance support, Payroll outsourcing would be the ideal solution.

Our Payroll outsourcing service covers payroll calculation, payslip management, individual tax filing, and social insurance contributions. We ensure that the payroll process is accurate, efficient, and compliant with local regulations.

EOR implementation is fast and can be set up in a short time, depending on your requirements. We aim to get your employees onboard and fully operational as quickly as possible, ensuring full compliance from day one.
