Simplify Your Global Expansion
The Philippines offers a deep talent pool across industries, making it a prime destination for global teams. However, setting up your own offshore company can involve complex regulations, registration requirements, and time-consuming bureaucracy. With ZigZag’s Employer of Record Partnership, we take on the legal and administrative responsibilities—so you can hire locally, operate compliantly, and focus on growing your business.
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An EOR is a third-party organisation that legally employs your staff on your behalf. While you manage day-to-day tasks and team performance, the EOR handles legal employment, payroll, benefits, tax compliance, and HR responsibilities.
Why would I use an EOR instead of setting up a local entity?
Setting up a local entity in the Philippines or other offshore markets can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive. An EOR allows you to hire and operate quickly without navigating legal registration, local labor laws, or ongoing compliance requirements.
How does EOR Partnership with ZigZag work?
-
You choose your staff. You find and select the right candidates in the Philippines. You decide on the role, salary, and manage day-to-day responsibilities, just like any employer.
-
ZigZag becomes the legal employer. Instead of setting up a local entity, ZigZag takes on the official employer role. We handle employment contracts, tax filings, and registration with SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG.
-
We manage compliance. ZigZag ensures all employment practices follow Philippine labor laws, including benefits, holiday pay, 13th-month bonuses, and termination procedures, eliminating risks and penalties.
-
You manage the team. While we handle the legal and administrative tasks, you maintain full control over your employee’s daily work, projects, and performance.
-
Payroll and benefits are handled. We process payroll, government contributions, and benefits on time and according to local standards — so you don’t have to worry.
Is EOR suitable for scaling teams quickly?
Absolutely. EOR is ideal for businesses that want to scale offshore teams without waiting months to establish a local business entity. It offers a low-risk, fast-entry approach to hiring globally.
How is EOR different from Managed Services?
With EOR, you hire and manage your team directly—assigning tasks, overseeing performance, and handling daily operations—while ZigZag takes care of the legal employment setup, compliance, payroll, and HR administration.
With Managed Services, ZigZag takes a more hands-on role. We recruit, build, and fully manage your offshore team, including day-to-day supervision, performance tracking, workflow management, and administrative support—so you can stay focused on outcomes, not operations.
Build Without Barriers
Expanding into new markets doesn’t have to mean navigating complex legal systems or building infrastructure from scratch.
With ZigZag as your Employer of Record Partner, you gain a seamless way to hire, manage, and grow your offshore team—without the usual setup delays or compliance risks.
When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll help you do it with clarity and confidence.
