Employer of Record in Thailand

What Is a Global EOR? – Understanding the Talent Engagement Model

A Global Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that hires employees on behalf of your company in countries where you don’t have a legal entity. Simply put, while you manage and direct your remote teams, the Global EOR takes care of all administrative, HR, and legal tasks tied to employment.

An Employer of Record (EOR) is an organisation that takes on the legal and administrative responsibilities associated with employing workers on behalf of another company. The EOR becomes the official employer of record, assuming the employer’s obligations, while the client company maintains day-to-day control over the employees’ work and responsibilities. This arrangement allows businesses to leverage the expertise of the EOR in navigating local labour laws and regulations, reducing compliance risks and administrative burdens.

When a company partners with an EOR, it gains access to knowledge and experience in managing international employment. The EOR becomes a trusted advisor, guiding the client company through the complexities of global HR and ensuring compliance with local regulations. From drafting employment contracts to handling employee benefits, the EOR takes care of the administrative tasks, allowing the client company to focus on its core business objectives.

Key Functions of a Global EOR in Thailand

Responsibility Description
Payroll Administration Manages all aspects of employee payroll, ensuring timely and accurate payments in line with Thai regulations.
Tax Compliance Handles all employee and employer tax obligations and in-country tax reporting.
Immigration Support Handles work permit sponsorships, visa applications and extensions and ensures the employment contract complies with local laws.
Benefits Administration Manages statutory employee benefits like leaves, social security, insurance, retirement plans, and other local requirements.
Risk Mitigation Provides guidance and solutions to mitigate employment-related risks, including employee misclassification or permanent establishment risk.

Why is the Global EOR Model Gaining Popularity? Navigating 2023’s HR Landscape

In today’s fast-changing business environment, HR leaders are grappling with critical challenges—from dwindling talent pools to mounting pressures for budget reductions. Employee attrition is spiralling and is expected to reach alarming rates. Meanwhile, over three-quarters of European businesses struggle to find candidates with the necessary competencies, signalling a widening talent deficit. These trends underline the urgent need for innovative HR solutions.

Speed of Market Entry: The Agility Factor

In a time when every business decision must be made swiftly, Global EOR services allow you to establish a foothold in new markets like Thailand with unprecedented speed. This agility is critical for capitalising on limited-time market opportunities and sidestepping the lengthy procedures of establishing a foreign legal entity.

Cost-Efficiency: Streamlining Budgets in a Cost-Sensitive World

In a year when cost management is a focal point for HR departments, Global EOR services offer an economically prudent alternative to the heavy financial burden of establishing and operating an in-country legal entity. The Global Employer of Record talent engagement model supports HR leaders in their quest for budget optimization without compromising on talent acquisition and management.

Concentration on Core Business: Where Growth and HR Converge

In an era where talent retention and employee engagement are top priorities, a Global EOR model lets businesses hone in on their core competencies. By outsourcing complex HR tasks and legal compliance to experts, companies can concentrate on fostering an inclusive culture, thereby improving employee satisfaction and reducing turnover rates.

Scalability: Adapting to Fluctuating Business Needs

Today’s volatile economic conditions demand extreme adaptability. The Global EOR model allows companies to swiftly adjust their workforce size in response to market trends, helping them stay agile in a fluctuating business landscape. This flexibility is a godsend for HR leaders managing workforce scale while ensuring stability.

Global Talent Access: Bridging the Skills Gap

As the hunt for specialised skills and top talent becomes more challenging, particularly in regions like Europe, the Global EOR model provides a gateway to a rich, global talent pool. By enabling compliant employment in countries like Thailand, businesses can tap into diverse skill sets otherwise unreachable due to geographical or regulatory constraints.

By aligning with Express Global Employment for your Global EOR needs in Thailand, you are positioning your business for agile, cost-efficient, and risk-mitigated international expansion. Our services address today’s unique HR challenges and equip you for the emerging trends and considerations the next 12 months will likely bring.

A Focus on Compliance: The Bedrock of Sustainable Change

In the face of evolving regulations and the complexities of international employment, compliance cannot be an afterthought. The growing popularity of Global EOR services can be attributed in part to their inherent risk-mitigation advantages, putting compliance at the core of business operations and changes.
