Labor Dispatch in China

Historically, establishing a legal entity in China, such as a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE), Representative Office, Branch Office, or Subsidiary has been a prerequisite for companies hiring employees there. However, foreign businesses without a Chinese legal entity now have alternative options: they can hire employees locally within China or send (dispatch) existing employees to China.

Professional Employer Organization (PEO)

As a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) we act as a co-employer, partnering with our clients to handle a wide range of human resources functions.  Essentially, we as the PEO becomes the legal employer of the client company’s employees, allowing the client to offload administrative burdens related to payroll, benefits administration, HR compliance, and risk management. This allows our clients, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, to focus on their core operations while accessing HR expertise and resources they might not otherwise be able to afford. The PEO relationship is a co-employment model, meaning both the PEO and the client company share certain employer responsibilities.

Employer of Record (EOR)

As an Employer of Record (EOR) we provide a streamlined solution for companies looking to hire in China without establishing a legal entity there. As the EOR we legally employ the worker in China, handling all compliance requirements, including payroll, taxes, benefits, and adherence to local labor laws. This allows our clients to quickly and easily expand their footprint in China, test new markets, or hire remote talent without the complexities and costs associated with setting up a foreign subsidiary.  Essentially, the EOR acts as the legal employer on paper, while the client company retains day-to-day management and direction of the employee.
