Employer of Record (EOR).

An Employer of Record is the legal employer on paper. MJC GlobalTech signs the local employment contract, runs payroll in local currency, provides statutory benefits and files employer obligations, while you direct the work, set priorities and manage performance. The employee sits in your team but appears on our local payroll, not on a payroll you have to build.

An entity gives you permanent control, its own bank account and direct statutory registrations, but incorporation, tax registration, payroll setup and local HR typically take months and carry fixed annual overhead. An EOR uses infrastructure that already exists, so hiring starts in days. Entities win on scale; EOR wins on speed, small headcount and market testing.

Days rather than quarters, because no incorporation step is involved. Once the candidate is selected, onboarding runs through background checks, a compliant local employment contract, statutory registrations and day-one readiness including optional laptop, licence and IT provisioning. Compliance applies from the hire date itself, and payroll picks the employee up in the next processing cycle.

All employer-side obligations in the country of hire: income tax withholding, social security and pension contributions, mandatory insurance, statutory leave and end-of-service entitlements. In practice that means PF and ESI in India, WPS and gratuity in the UAE, PAYE, NI and pension auto-enrolment in the UK, and FICA and federal or state withholding in the USA.

Employment-law liability sits with MJC GlobalTech as the legal employer, covering notice periods, statutory severance or end-of-service benefits, documentation and dispute handling under local law. You provide the business reason and we run a lawful process. Notice requirements vary by country and by contract, so exits are planned against the local statutory minimum, not a global template.

Usually once headcount, permanence and cost cross over. Common triggers are a team large enough that per-employee EOR fees exceed entity running costs, a need for local contracting, invoicing or intellectual-property ownership, or a decision to commit to the market long-term. Employees can be transferred to your entity once it is registered, with continuity of service preserved.
