Hire a Philippine employee without opening a local entity. Permworks HR becomes the employer of record and runs payroll, benefits, and compliance while your team manages the work.
An employer of record is the legal employer of a Philippine employee. Permworks HR employs the person, runs payroll, and handles statutory contributions. Your company directs the day-to-day work without setting up its own Philippine entity.
You choose the person and the role. Permworks HR onboards them as an employee or contractor, then handles payroll, mandatory benefits, and the employment administration. Employee onboarding is typically 2–3 business days. You can request a demo or review HR pricing before you start.
For employees, Permworks HR handles PhilHealth, Social Security System (SSS), Pag-IBIG, 13th-month pay, and leave administration. Contractor arrangements cover compliant agreements and payment processing. Your company still manages the work.
A Permworks job ad finds candidates. Employer of record starts after you decide to employ someone and you do not have your own Philippine employing entity. You can hire through a job post, then use Permworks HR only if you need the employment and payroll layer.
The employment cost still includes salary, 13th-month pay, and employer contributions. Permworks HR adds its own service fee on top of that. The fee depends on the arrangement, so use the HR pricing page rather than a single public rate.
“Permworks HR made hiring our first Philippine employee incredibly simple. Onboarding was fast, compliance was handled end-to-end, and the team was fantastic throughout.”
