EOR (Employer of Record)
Build a local team while you keep control of each employee's daily work, responsibilities, performance and business priorities.
New to EOR?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a Vietnam company that employs the people you select, so you can build a local team without setting up your own entity first.
Truzand becomes the legal employer within the agreed scope and supports employment contracts, payroll, personal income tax and statutory insurance. Your business still chooses who to hire and directs their daily work, priorities and performance.
Your team are employees with a local employment contract and statutory benefits, not independent contractors.
Already have a Vietnam entity? Outsourced Payroll Services keeps your entity as the legal employer. See Outsourced Payroll Services

Steps and timing vary with the business line, the investor and the location.
