Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Employer of Record and payroll service?

An Employer of Record (EOR) acts as the legal employer for your workers in a given region, handling local employment contracts, payroll processing, statutory contributions, tax compliance, benefits administration, and HR tasks, allowing you to hire internationally without setting up local legal entities.


Which Southeast Asian countries does Weshine support?

Weshine supports hiring and compliant payroll operations across key countries in Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.


What does the monthly service fee include?

The monthly service fee typically covers employment contract management, payroll processing, withholding tax compliance, mandatory insurance and benefits administration, dispute resolution support, and talent cultural training.


Does Weshine add a markup to employee salaries or statutory costs?

Weshine charges a transparent flat monthly management fee per headcount (such as USD 159 per headcount per month) for its EOR and payroll service rather than adding hidden markups to employee salaries or statutory costs.


Who manages the employee’s work and performance?

Your company retains full control over the employee's day-to-day work, tasks, reporting lines, performance management, and business outcomes, while Weshine manages the legal, administrative, and compliance aspects.
