Expand Your Business in Philippines with the Right HR Solution

Expanding into the Philippines presents challenges like local labor laws and HR processes. Whether it’s payroll, onboarding, or compliance, selecting a PEO or EOR is crucial. Glints TalentHub offers both PEO and EOR services to help you grow efficiently in the Philippines.

What is a PEO (Professional Employer Organization)?
A PEO simplifies HR management by outsourcing key functions such as payroll, benefits, and legal compliance. In the Philippines, partnering with a PEO allows businesses to streamline their HR operations without needing a full in-house team.
Typically, a PEO covers the following:
Payroll processing and tax reporting
Employee benefits and health insurance management
Compliance with local labor laws, including reporting
Assistance with onboarding and offboarding employees
HR support and employee dispute management
Workers’ compensation and risk management
Benefits of using a PEO in the Philippines
Glints TalentHub’s PEO service ensures your HR processes align with the Philippines' labor laws.

Challenges and limitations of PEOs in Philippines
While a PEO provides substantial HR management support, there are challenges to consider:
Limited Legal Entity Support
A PEO helps manage HR, but it doesn’t offer legal entity setup or comprehensive legal liability coverage
Flexibility Constraints
PEO services are limited in flexibility when it comes to quick expansion or legal hiring needs, as they only support existing teams and operations
Lack of Direct Hiring Capabilities
PEOs focus on managing existing employees and payroll but do not provide end-to-end recruitment or entity hiring solutions

Alternatives to PEO: Introduction to Employer of Record (EOR)

For businesses seeking to enter the Philippines without forming a legal entity, an EOR may be the better solution. An EOR takes full responsibility for the employment of staff, handling compliance and legal matters on your behalf.

Why consider an EOR in Philippines

An EOR can offer various advantages over a PEO, particularly when navigating the Philippines' complex labor market.

Legal employer status for employees
No need to establish a local entity
Quick hiring and onboarding process

Full compliance with Philippine labor laws

Cost-effective expansion option
Deciding between PEO and EOR
When should you choose a PEO or EOR? Consider these points:
Choose a PEO if:

Your company already operates a legal entity in the Philippines and requires HR support

You need assistance with payroll, benefits, and compliance management

You aim to improve the efficiency of your existing HR operations

Choose an EOR if:

You don’t have a legal entity in the Philippines but need to hire staff quickly

You prefer a solution that assumes full legal responsibility for employment and compliance

You’re looking for a cost-effective expansion without the legal complexities of entity setup

PEO vs EOR in Philippines

While a PEO assists with managing HR processes, an EOR takes on full legal responsibility for your employees. Choosing the right solution depends on your business's operational needs and growth goals.
