Hassle-Free Expansion

Japan is a leader in technology: the country is renowned for the manufacture of automobiles, robotics, and nanotechnology and has become the home of many multinationals aiming at innovation. With the service sector, especially banking and retail, as the main economic pillar, but with a rapidly growing industry sector, Japan’s economy is full of opportunities.

Japan has a strong focus on trade and has experienced a trade surplus year after year. This combined with its leading role in technology and innovation makes Japan an appealing country for international businesses.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

As an EOR we conclude an agreement with both you and the employee who will be working for your company. We become the legal employer of your new workforce and are responsible for taxes, labor laws, and other local regulations that might be unfamiliar to you now. Your company maintains control over the working relationship, work ethics, tasks, and daily responsibilities of your employee.

Our EOR services in Japan offer our global entity network to companies considering expansion. We become your international employees’ Employer of Record, meaning that we take full responsibility for your employees’:

  • Labour contracts
  • Compliance with Japanese laws
  • Tax contributions (if applicable)
  • Payroll

As an Employer Of Record, we conclude an agreement with you and the employee who will be working for your company. We become the legal employer of your new workforce. Your company maintains control over your employees’ working relationships, work ethics, tasks, and daily responsibilities.

The greatest benefit of using an EOR is probably that there is no necessity for you to set-up an entity in Japan. This process can take months and during this period, it is unlikely that you have legal resources to pay your employees in Japan resulting in a considerable delay in your global expansion plans.

Global expansion is an exciting step that often leads to a growing and successful business, but the red tape in a new country can be demotivating and frustrating. Imagine a way to globally expand your business without red tape and at low costs: that is what working with an EOR can do for you.

By letting us take care of the hard part, you can focus on the great part: expand your business into Japan. These are the aspects we can take away from you:

  • Registering with the tax and social security office.
  • Immerse yourself in the local laws, customs, and regulations.
  • Get familiar with local labor benefits and other contract-related customs.
  • Approach potential employees and make them an offer.
  • Setting up the Payroll system compliantly.
  • Submitting wage tax returns and national insurance forms.
  • Staying up-to-date and compliant with changes in local regulations.
  • Worrying about whether or not you are working compliantly with all laws, restrictions, and regulations.
