FAQs

What is the cost of RECO’s EOR service?

Our pricing is customized based on the number of employees, salary range, and specific HR requirements.

What is the deposit term?

Typically, the deposit covers 1–2 months of employee payroll and related expenses.

Besides issuing employment contracts, what else does RECO provide?

RECO manages the full HR lifecycle on your behalf

What is the difference between payroll and EOR?

EOR (Employer of Record): Reco becomes the legal employer of your staff. You do not need to set up a company in Vietnam. Reco handles all legal liability, contracts, and compliance.
Payroll: Your company remains the legal employer. You must have a registered entity in Vietnam. Reco simply acts as a service provider to calculate salaries, taxes, and insurance on your behalf.

In short: EOR is for hiring without a local office; Payroll is for companies that already have an office but want to outsource the paperwork.

Which company should use employer of record in Vietnam?

Foreign companies without a local legal entity: If you want to hire Vietnamese staff but don’t have a registered office (IRC/ERC) in the country.
Companies testing the market: Businesses wanting to “trial” the Vietnamese market or run a short-term project without the cost of a full company setup.
Rapid-growth startups: Those who need to onboard employees in days or weeks, bypassing the 3–6 month registration process for a foreign-owned enterprise.
Remote-hiring firms: International companies hiring local developers, designers, or consultants who require compliant local contracts and social insurance (SHUI).

In short: Use EOR if you have talent to hire in Vietnam but do not have (or want) a local legal office yet.

Why should I partner with an EOR instead of hiring directly?

No Entity Needed: You can hire legally in Vietnam without spending 3–6 months and thousands of dollars setting up a local company (WFOE).
Zero Compliance Risk: Reco becomes the legal employer, assuming all responsibility for the 2019 Labor Code, social insurance (SHUI), and tax filings.
Speed to Market: You can onboard staff and start operations in days, whereas direct hiring requires a completed business registration first.
Lower Costs: You avoid the overhead of office rentals, local legal representatives, and accounting staff required for a physical branch.

In short: EOR is a “Plug-and-Play” solution that lets you focus on work while Reco handles the legal liability and bureaucracy.
