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.

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).

EOR can be used indefinitely. Many companies use EOR for 1–3 employees permanently. For 15+ employees, a Pvt Ltd entity is typically more cost-effective and gives greater operational control.

We handle: EPFO (12% employer contribution, ECR by 15th), ESIC (3.25% employer for eligible employees), TDS under Section 192 (deposited by 7th), state Professional Tax, Shops Act registration, POSH compliance, and annual Form 16.
