Expanding your business internationally is exciting but comes with its own set of challenges. One of the toughest? Hiring employees legally while following local rules in a new country. That's why Employer of Record (EOR) services from RainTech are becoming a transformative solution for global companies building teams in Indonesia.

With deep experience supporting companies to build compliant remote teams across Indonesia, we get how local labor laws and the job market work. This guide breaks down what an Employer of Record really is and how it can help your business thrive smoothly in Indonesia.

What is an Employer of Record?

Think of an Employer of Record as your local hiring partner in Indonesia. RainTech legally hires employees on your behalf. We handle all the tricky stuff: contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, ensuring everything complies with Indonesian labor laws.

This setup lets you bring on talent quickly without the hassle and expense of opening a local entity. You stay in charge of managing your team and their work, while RainTech manages the behind-the-scene legal and admin tasks.

So, while you decide who to hire and what projects they work on, we take care of paperwork and compliance, freeing you to focus on growing your business.

How Does an Employer of Record Work?

Here's how it works in practise:

1. You find and choose your ideal candidates.
2. RainTech signs employment contracts that tick all the local legal boxes: benefits, leave, termination rights included.
3. We take care of payroll, social security contributions (like BPJS), tax fillings, and employee benefits.
4. You focus on day-to-day management and integrating your new team members, without administrative headaches.

For example, a software company entering Indonesia onboarded five developers within weeks using RainTech's EOR services. We handled contracts and payroll seamlessly while they focused on product launch and market entry.

Using an EOR helps you skip complex entity registrations that can take months and require hefty investments.

Why Indonesia is Ideal for Employer of Record Solutions

Indonesia's tech talent market is booming: young, tech-savvy and eager to work with global companies.

However, local employment laws come with strict rules: mandatory BPJS contributions, severance pay requirements, and detailed contract regulations. Missing these can lead to fines or operational issues.

RainTech's local know-how ensures your hiring process aligns perfectly with Indonesian laws, letting you tap into this talent pool worry-free.

Plus, with remote work on the rise, EOR services offer flexibility to quickly scale your Indonesian teams based on your project needs, without the legal hassle of direct employment.
