What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service that enables businesses to legally hire employees in countries where they don't have a registered entity. The EOR becomes the legal employer of your team members on paper, handling all compliance, payroll, and HR functions.
With SynkPay as your EOR partner in India, you can quickly build your engineering team without the complexity and cost of establishing a legal presence. You maintain full day-to-day control of your employees while we handle the administrative burden.
Why Use an EOR?
- Avoid the 4-6 month process of establishing a legal entity
- Eliminate the need for in-house legal and HR expertise
- Reduce compliance risks associated with cross-border employment
- Scale your team up or down without administrative hurdles
- Low-cost, high-performance engineering teams in India
Perfect For Companies That:
- Want to build high-performing engineering teams in India
- Want to test the Indian market before fully committing
- Need to hire quickly without legal delays
- Prefer to focus on core business rather than administration
- Want to minimize financial risk and upfront investment

Who handles the day-to-day management of employees?

We handle all termination procedures in full compliance with Indian labor laws. This includes notice periods, final settlements, and necessary documentation. We will work closely with you to ensure the process is handled professionally and legally.
Can we transition employees to our own entity later?
Absolutely. If you decide to establish your own legal entity in India, we offer a smooth transition process to transfer employees from our EOR service to your entity. There are no transition fees, and we can also assist with the entity establishment process if needed.
