DOOSIGAN / EMPLOYER OF RECORD / EOR
People working in Thailand before you have an entity.
Hiring one or two professionals in Thailand does not require incorporating first. Our Thai entity becomes the employer — contract, payroll, tax and social security — while the employee does your work. If we already hold your registrations and imports, your people can sit under the same entity.
01 / SERVICE SCOPE
For companies that need people working in Thailand before they have a Thai entity, or whose team is too small to justify one: a local sales lead, a technical-support engineer, a project specialist. Our Thai entity employs them under Thai labour law and runs payroll and statutory filings each month, while the employee works under your direction. We perform this ourselves, without subcontracting to a partner. Visa and work-permit sponsorship for staff relocating from abroad is not part of this service at present.
02 / YOUR OPERATING MODEL
The employment contract under Thai labour law, monthly payroll, withholding tax filings with the Revenue Department and contributions to the Social Security Office — every statutory duty of the employer is performed by us.
What the employee does and how performance is judged is your decision. Reporting lines and working arrangements are agreed between you and the employee, and we reflect them in the contract.
When the business grows and you set up your own Thai company, the employment moves to it. The contract, payroll and social security registration change to the new employer, so the transfer date is planned in advance.
03 / REGULATORY INSIGHT
Employing staff in Thailand normally starts with a Thai company of your own: incorporation, a bank account, tax and social security registration, and the monthly filings that follow. For an initial market assessment or a team of one or two, that set-up can come before the business case is proven.
An Employer of Record fills that gap. Our Thai entity acts as the employer, signs the employment contract, fulfils the employer’s statutory duties and runs payroll, tax and social security. The employee takes direction from you and does your work.
It fits these situations:
Visa and work-permit sponsorship for staff relocating from abroad is not part of this service at present.
04 / REGULATORY INSIGHT
| Area | Us (employer) | You |
|---|---|---|
| Employment contract | Contract under Thai labour law, in our name | Salary, allowances and working conditions |
| Onboarding | Employee documents and registration as our employee | Candidate selection and offer |
| Payroll | Monthly payroll calculation and payment, payslips | Funding and approval of payroll |
| Tax | Withholding tax deduction and monthly filing | — |
| Social security | Social Security Fund registration and contributions | — |
| Exit | Final settlement and end-of-employment filings | Decision and notice |
We perform this ourselves and do not subcontract to another agency. Direction of work, performance management and HR decisions remain yours. Candidate sourcing, visa and work-permit sponsorship for staff from abroad, and legal representation in labour disputes are outside the scope; we can point you to the right people if needed.
05 / REGULATORY INSIGHT
Timing depends on the start date and how ready the documents are; we walk through it case by case in the consultation.
06 / REGULATORY INSIGHT
If we hold your registrations through license holding and imports through IOR, EOR lets your people sit under the same entity. With the license, the import and the staff in one place, a local operation runs during launch without a company of your own.
You do not need all three at once. If the product comes first, start with registration and the holder; if people come first, start with EOR — and move each piece to your own entity once the business is established.
07 / EXPERTISE × AX
