Hire in the Philippines without setting up a local company. Payroll, tax, statutory benefits, employment contracts, and HR handled by our licensed Philippines partner. One monthly invoice. Zero legal grey zones.
An Employer of Record legally employs your team member on your behalf in the Philippines. You direct the day-to-day work. The EOR handles employment contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, and compliance under Philippine labour law.
Hire in the Philippines without setting up your own company, opening a local bank account, or navigating BIR / DOLE registrations. That's on us.
Your team member is a bona fide employee under Philippine labour law with all statutory benefits (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, 13th month pay, leave). No contractor misclassification risk.
You direct the day-to-day work exactly as you would a local employee. We handle everything behind the scenes so you can focus on getting the work done.
Most Australian EOR providers white-label a global platform and rebadge it. You pay their fee plus the platform's margin, and your team member sits inside someone else's UI. Escalations go through ticketing systems. Compliance decisions default to the platform's generic interpretation.
We do it differently. Hatch Compliance is a direct partnership with a licensed Philippines employer we've hand-selected. No platform middleman. No rebadging. Every peso of the salary and statutory contributions passes through at cost — you see exactly where it goes.

Most EOR providers in the Australian market resell a global platform. Here's what changes when you go direct.
| Hatch Compliance (direct) | Platform-reseller EOR | |
|---|---|---|
| Who legally employs your team member | ✓ A named PH partner we've verified (BIR, DOLE, PII) | ✕ A global platform's PH entity |
| Account manager | ✓ Dedicated Account Director, named, contactable directly | ✕ Support ticket queue via the platform's UI |
| PH labour law questions | ✓ Real-time answers from a Philippines-based HR expert | ✕ Platform's help centre or delayed support reply |
| Salary + statutory pricing | ✓ Pass-through at cost, itemised on every invoice | ✕ Bundled or platform-margin-included, opaque |
| Service fee currency | ✓ AUD-locked, no FX drift | ✕ Often USD-anchored, AUD price drifts with FX |
| Onboarding experience | ✓ Live Sprout HRIS walkthrough with a human | ✕ Self-serve platform onboarding |
| Performance + termination process | ✓ Guided by our PH HR partner, templates provided | ✕ Platform's generic policy |
| Lock-in | ✓ None. 30 days notice | Varies by platform |
Platforms are fine for scale, but they add a layer between you and the actual PH employer, and their margin sits inside the price. When something needs a human answer — PH labour law nuance, a coaching conversation, a termination gone sideways — you're at the mercy of a ticket queue.
Direct partnership means a real person in the Philippines knows your team member by name. Faster answers, transparent pricing, and no third party sitting in the middle of every conversation.
Team Hatch charges A$350/month as our Hatch Compliance service fee. Everything else on your monthly invoice — salary, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, 13th month accrual — is what our PH partner charges us, passed through to you at cost.
No hidden margin on the wages. No inflated statutory numbers. The invoice itemises every peso.
A licensed Philippines Employer of Record we've hand-selected and verified: BIR tax registration, DOLE Occupational Safety and Health registration, and Professional Indemnity insurance all on file. Their identity is disclosed on our formal engagement documents.
You'll meet your dedicated Account Director on your first onboarding call.
Probationary period is 6 months by PH law. We provide performance frameworks (1-month, 3-month, and 5-month review templates), coaching guidance, and formal Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) support if needed.
If the placement isn't working out, Hatch Hire includes a 6-month replacement guarantee. Any statutory separation payments due to the employee are calculated by our PH partner per DOLE requirements.
Our A$350/mo service fee is AUD-locked in the contract — no FX drift. Salary and statutory contributions are paid in PHP at market rate on payday.
Most competitor EORs anchor their fee in USD, which means your AUD price fluctuates every month. We fixed ours in AUD so your budget stays predictable.
Semi-monthly payroll: 1st–15th and 16th–30th. Our PH partner issues an invoice to us by the 5th and 20th, we invoice you the same day. You have 8 business days to fund. Employees are paid on the 15th and 30th.
One invoice covers salary, statutory, and the Hatch Compliance service fee. Refundable security deposit is a separate one-off at commencement.
No. 30-day termination notice either way. If you offboard an employee, we handle the compliant separation process; the refundable security deposit is returned on clean exit.
Yes. If you've sourced your own Philippines candidate, we can onboard them straight into the EOR arrangement. Recruitment (Hatch Hire, A$4,500) is optional.
15-minute discovery call. We'll walk you through pricing, the partner setup, and what your first placement would look like end to end.
