Already have your person · No recruitment step

Employer of Record in the Philippines. We become the legal employer. You keep the person and the work.

For firms that have already sourced someone, or have existing Philippine staff. Our Back Office Support team becomes their legal employer and runs payroll, statutory contributions and compliance, for a fixed monthly fee per employee.

Employer of Record is for when the hiring is already done. You have found the person yourself, or you already have Philippine staff, and you need the employment to be legal and compliant without setting up your own entity. Through Back Office Support, ITVA becomes the legal employer, holds the contract and manages payroll, statutory benefits and compliance. There is no recruitment step and no placement fee. Exact figures depend on the role and are set in your discovery call.

Why this matters

Engaging Philippine staff as contractors, or paying them without a local entity, carries misclassification and compliance risk. As your employer of record, ITVA holds the legal employment relationship and the statutory obligations, so your existing team is employed properly without you standing up an entity of your own. If you still need to find the person, the All Inclusive Solution adds recruitment.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is an Employer of Record in the Philippines?

A local entity that becomes the legal employer of your team member on your behalf. ITVA, through Back Office Support, holds the employment contract, runs payroll and manages statutory contributions and compliance, while you direct the work.

Do you recruit the person under this model?

No. Employer of Record is for people you have already sourced or existing Philippine staff. There is no recruitment step and no placement fee. If you need us to find the person, choose the All Inclusive Solution.

Does this remove misclassification risk?

Yes. Because ITVA is the legal employer rather than the person being paid as a contractor, the payroll, tax, statutory contribution and local labour obligations sit with us, not with you.

How is the fee structured?

A fixed monthly fee per employee, covering statutory benefits and compliance, with an optional Davao City hotdesk. There is no one time placement fee because there is no recruitment. Exact figures are provided in your discovery call.
