🇯🇵 Employer of Record
Expand into Japan in weeks, not months. Asia Payroll Hub acts as the legal employer for compliant hiring, payroll, and shakai hoken, labor insurance, and withholding tax — while you manage day-to-day work.
EOR is ideal for market testing, first hires, remote teams, and bridge employment before incorporation in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and nationwide).
Onboard talent while entity setup is still in planning.
Employment contracts and statutory items including shakai hoken, labor insurance, and withholding tax handled through the EOR model.
You manage roles, priorities, and performance; we manage employment administration.
Transition employees to your Japan company later if growth justifies it.
Need payroll only because you already have an entity? See Japan payroll outsourcing.
1. Scope & quote — role, location, start date, and benefits assumptions.
2. Offer & contract — compliant employment documentation under the EOR.
3. Onboarding — payroll setup, statutory registrations as applicable, bank details.
4. Monthly cycle — salary, deductions, payslips, filings support.
5. Scale or transition — add headcount or move to your own entity later.
An Employer of Record legally employs your worker in Japan on your behalf. You direct the work; we handle employment contracts, payroll, shakai hoken, labor insurance, and withholding tax, and statutory compliance.
Typical onboarding is 2–4 weeks depending on role, documentation, and any work-pass requirements.
Use EOR if you do not have a Japan entity. Use payroll outsourcing if you already employ staff under your own local company.
Yes. EOR can be a bridge while you incorporate; we can support a planned transition when you are ready.
EOR is commonly priced per employee per month, plus salary and statutory costs pass-through. Request a Japan-specific quote for exact scope.
