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!
