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.
Comprehensive EOR Services in India
Our Employer of Record India services provide a complete solution for international companies looking to hire and manage employees in India. We handle all aspects of employment, from initial onboarding to ongoing payroll processing and compliance management. This comprehensive approach ensures that your business can focus on growth while we manage all the administrative complexities of Indian employment law.
The EOR model is particularly beneficial for tech companies and startups that need to quickly scale their engineering teams in India without the time and cost associated with establishing a legal entity. Our services include employee contracts, payroll processing, tax compliance, benefits administration, and ongoing HR support. We ensure full compliance with Indian labor laws including the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF), Employee State Insurance (ESI), and Professional Tax requirements.
SynkPay's EOR services eliminate the need for complex legal entity setup while providing the same level of control and oversight you would have with direct employment. Our team of HR professionals and legal experts ensures that all employment practices comply with Indian regulations, reducing your legal risk and administrative burden.
