In This Guide
You have found the right person in Taipei, but you have no Taiwan company to employ them. Setting up a local company takes time, but your new hire is ready to start.
The best employer of record in Taiwan depends on your hiring plans, support needs, and existing HR systems. This guide compares Slasify with six other providers, highlighting their service scope, published starting fees, and potential fit for different teams.
An employer of record (EOR) is a company that legally employs your staff in a country where you have no entity, while you direct their work. In Taiwan, the EOR:
You pay the EOR a monthly fee per employee, plus the employer's statutory contributions. Our Taiwan employer cost guide breaks those contributions down, and our Taiwan employment guide covers the wider rules.
