What Is an Employer of Record (EOR) in China?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party provider that legally hires employees on your behalf in China — allowing you to build a local team without setting up a legal entity.

With Sapience Pro as your EOR, we become the official legal employer in China. We handle employment contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, and regulatory compliance — including guidance on work visas for eligible hires — while you retain full operational control of your team.
