The definition

What is an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a licensed third party that takes on the legal employer role for a worker in Singapore — issuing a Singapore-compliant employment contract in its own name, running monthly payroll, handling applicable CPF contributions and tax filing, and sponsoring the applicable work pass where the worker is eligible. This lets your company engage a professional in Singapore without first setting up and registering your own local entity, while you continue to direct the person's day-to-day work as you would any other member of your team.

Eligibility and structure depend on applicable Singapore employment, tax and work-pass requirements.
