Tim Andrews Associates
Is your company considering starting a sales and marketing presence in a foreign country? Are you concerned that the market for your products and services may not be as good as you might hope? Are you concerned at the size of the up-front costs of setting up a company, and the ongoing costs of tax filings, audits and other filings, and the potential additional costs of unwinding everything if it does not work out?
We have a solution for you. Our solution will enable you to have employees in a foreign country or countries, without the US company having an obligation to register an entity, file income tax, VAT or payroll returns. But in such a way as to be compliant with both local and US rules.
Our solution will give you a low cost means of testing the market, setting up an initial presence, or indeed ultimately a long term solution as appropriate. If a permanent registered presence is considered viable then this can be subsequently set up. If not, significant costs are avoided.
We provide services that enable a company to expand their overseas presence without creating a local registration for the company in a manner that is simple, rapid, compliant and cost effective. They are contracted through our US based company.
When a client company employs an individual in a foreign country the client company will be required to comply with a myriad of local laws and may have to create a subsidiary or register a branch, and register for income and value added/sales taxes.
To simplify the process, we will employ that individual selected by the client company as Employer of Record in the foreign country using an already established entity.
The client company will not need to research the local laws, appoint local legal advisors or employ accounting firms.
We will ensure that all local laws are complied with, a local law contract of employment or the equivalent is in place with the chosen employee and we will run payroll and make all required payments to the tax authorities and the employee, including approved expense reimbursements.
We will advise on the structure of the remuneration package including typical benefits, and will provide statutory benefits as required and supplementary benefits as agreed.
We provide a simple, compliant way to employ overseas staff through our local entities, handling contracts, payroll, and administration while your employee works fully for your business.
We and the client company will enter into a services agreement. Once the agreement is executed and the initial setup fee has been paid, we will request details of the prospective employee and the employment terms agreed with the client company. We can also support the client in determining an appropriate compensation and benefits package in the relevant country.
Based on the agreed terms, we will prepare a draft contract of employment in compliance with local regulations. This contract will be reviewed and approved by the client company before being executed by the employee and our local entity. We will collect all required personal and employment information necessary for payroll and statutory registrations, and arrange any agreed benefits.
Following contract execution, the employee will be onboarded onto our local payroll and benefits systems. The employee will work full-time for the client company and report on a day-to-day basis to the designated manager at the client company. While the employee will be legally employed by our local entity, they will work exclusively on behalf of, and may represent, the client company.
We will manage ongoing payroll, statutory compliance, and benefits administration. The client company will receive a monthly invoice covering all employee-related costs, including salary, benefits, reimbursed expenses, and any other agreed costs, in addition to our fees. Our recurring fee is a fixed monthly amount per employee.
We operate in 30 countries of which we have our own wholly owned operations in 21 countries. We are continually expanding as we are requested to become Employer of Record to employees in additional countries.
