FAQ – China Employer of Record (EOR) Service

1. What is a China Employer of Record (EOR)?

A China Employer of Record (EOR) is a service provider that legally employs your staff in China on your behalf. Your employees work for you day-to-day, but Viotech handles payroll, benefits, contracts, and compliance with Chinese labor laws.

2. Can you hire employees in China without an EOR?

Yes—but it requires one of two approaches: establishing a legal entity in China or engaging workers as independent contractors. Both options have trade-offs.

  • Setting up a legal entity gives you full control but comes with significant responsibilities. You’ll need to manage payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance, often with the support of local attorneys, HR teams, and accountants. This route is usually only practical if you plan to hire a large workforce.

  • Hiring workers as contractors may seem simpler, but it carries compliance risks. Misclassifying employees as contractors can lead to fines, penalties, and reputational damage.

For most companies, an Employer of Record (EOR) offers the best balance of cost, speed, and compliance. An EOR acts as the legal employer in China—handling payroll, benefits, and regulatory requirements—so you can focus on building your team without unnecessary risk.

3. What are the risks of hiring contractors instead of using an EOR?

Hiring workers as contractors may seem simpler, but misclassification is a major risk in China. Authorities can impose fines, back taxes, and legal penalties. An EOR eliminates this risk by hiring employees under fully compliant contracts.

4. Who should use a China EOR service?

 

  • Companies testing the Chinese market

  • Businesses hiring a small team in China

  • Organizations without the resources to set up a subsidiary

  • Fast-growing companies that need to hire quickly
