Questions
What is an Employer of Record in India?
An Employer of Record is the company that legally employs someone on your behalf. Ensaar issues the Indian employment contract, pays the salary in rupees and runs payroll and HR. You direct the work day to day. It is how a foreign company hires in India without first registering a company there.
How much does an Employer of Record cost in India?
Ensaar's fee starts from $199 per employee per month and is agreed with each client, with no setup fee and no minimum term. On top of the fee you pay the salary itself, and employment costs are passed through at cost with no margin. India specialists generally charge $99 to $399 and global platforms $499 to $699 for the same hire.
How quickly can we hire someone in India?
Five to ten working days from the point we have the candidate details and documents is typical, and it can be faster when documents arrive clean. If Ensaar is also finding the candidate, add the recruitment time, which depends on the role.
What does an employer pay on top of salary in India?
Salary, plus the employer contributions Indian law requires for each hire, which depend on the salary, the role and the state. Ensaar passes them through at cost, with no margin. Talk to us and we will set out the full monthly cost for the hire you have in mind.
Who owns the work and the IP?
You do. IP assignment and confidentiality terms sit in the employment contract Ensaar issues to the employee, and in the service agreement between Ensaar and you, so the rights land with you rather than with the employer of record.
Can we move EOR employees into our own Indian entity later?
Yes, and it is worth planning for from the start. When your own subsidiary becomes the cheaper option, Ensaar incorporates it and transfers the team across with their service continuity preserved, which matters for notice and leave.
