What is an Employer of Record (EOR) in India?
An EOR is a company that legally employs workers on behalf of another company. irpr.network becomes the employer on record in India — handling contracts, payroll, EPFO, ESIC, TDS, and all statutory compliance — while you direct the employee's day-to-day work.
How is EOR different from a staffing agency?
A staffing agency supplies workers. An EOR employs them. With irpr.network EOR, the employee has a direct employment relationship with us under Indian labour law — not a temporary contract — including all statutory benefits (PF, ESIC, gratuity, maternity).
