Best Employer of Record for hiring in the Philippines? [QUESTION]

Hi everyone! I'm looking to hire remote employees in the Philippines and need recommendations for a reliable Employer of Record (EOR) service.

My company is US-based and we want to hire 2-3 full-time developers initially, with plans to potentially expand the team later. I've already checked out EOR Overview for general information, but I'm wondering if anyone in this community has hands-on experience with Remote, Deel, or Multiplier specifically for Philippine hires.

I need an EOR that can handle:

  • Employment contracts compliant with Philippine labor law
  • Payroll processing in PHP
  • Tax withholding and compliance
  • Benefits administration (13th month pay, SSS, PhilHealth, etc.)
  • Easy onboarding process

Key questions about Remote, Deel, and Multiplier:

  • Which one have you actually used for Philippines and how was the experience?
  • What were the monthly fees like for each?
  • Any compliance issues or employee satisfaction problems?
  • How responsive was their customer support?
  • Which handled Philippine-specific requirements (like 13th month pay) most smoothly?
  • Any hidden fees I should be aware about?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's been through this process rather than just reading marketing materials. Thanks!
