EOR Philippines, plus a place for your team to actually work Zero-Ten Park Philippines office spaceZero-Ten Park Philippines office space

Most EOR Philippines quotes stop at payroll and compliance. This page walks through what changes once a managed office in Cebu IT Park, Mandaue, or Makati is added to that same invoice — with the real numbers, not a rounded estimate.

🧭 The Basics

What is an EOR, and what does the bundle add?

Before comparing locations or running the numbers, it helps to know exactly what changes between hiring through EOR Philippines alone and adding a managed workspace to the same invoice.

The EOR on its own

  • Your hires are employed under our existing Philippine entity — fully compliant with the Labor Code from day one
  • Compliant employment contracts, drafted per role
  • Payroll, tax filing, and statutory withholding handled monthly
  • SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG registered and remitted
  • 13th-month pay and statutory leave computed correctly
  • HR support and dispute resolution if something comes up

The bundle: EOR + a managed workspace

  • Everything in the EOR, plus a desk or private office your team can actually walk into
  • Fiber internet, biometric security, and meeting rooms already set up
  • One monthly invoice in USD or AUD, instead of separate payroll and lease bills
  • A global multi-location pass across the wider Zero-Ten Park network
  • A Philippine HR team on the ground, not a ticket queue in a different time zone
📜 Some Context

How employer-of-record hiring came to exist

The EOR model isn't a recent invention dressed up in new software — it's the latest step in a much older shift in how companies put people on payroll without owning the entity underneath them.

Late 1960s

Employee leasing is born

In the United States, small firms began “leasing back” their own staff through third-party companies to access group benefits and workers’ compensation they couldn’t buy efficiently alone.

1980s

The PEO and co-employment model

The industry formalized — associations of professional employer organisations formed, and providers took on payroll, tax filing, and compliance under a shared-employer arrangement.

1990s–2000s

The model goes cross-border

As companies began hiring overseas, a new variant emerged: the employer of record became the full legal employer under its own in-country entity, so a business could hire abroad without registering a subsidiary.

2010s onward

Distributed teams, global EOR

Remote-first companies wanted to hire in ten countries, not one. EOR networks strung together in-country entities behind a single point of contact — which is closer to what most people mean by “EOR” today.

✨ What's Included

What's included, itemized

One flat fee per employee, with the line items other setups bill separately already folded in. Nothing here is a teaser rate — it's what actually shows up on the invoice.

🧾 No Surprise Setup

No local entity, no ₱200,000+ in paid-up capital, and no six-month incorporation timeline before your first hire can start.

📊 Payroll, Not a Paid Add-On

Monthly payroll computation, tax filing, and statutory remittance come with the base fee, not billed as a separate service.

🧑‍💼 Real Local HR

A Philippine HR team who actually answers the phone for onboarding, disputes, and government audit support — not a support ticket queue.

🏢 A Workspace When You Want One

Add the bundle and your team gets a managed desk or private office, not just a legal employer on paper.

Employment & Legal

Locally compliant, role-specific contracts, registered under our Philippine entity, with statutory registrations handled from day one.

Payroll & Taxes

Monthly payroll computation and processing, income tax filing and withholding, 13th-month pay and final pay run correctly.

Government Benefits

SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG registration and remittance, plus mandatory leave and holiday pay tracked against the Labor Code.

Onboarding & Offboarding

Handled end to end, with one clean monthly invoice in USD or AUD so your finance team isn't reconciling several vendors.

People & HR Support

Dedicated Philippine HR contact, employee relations and dispute handling, government audit support, and quarterly check-ins.

Workspace (Bundle)

Dedicated desks or a private office, fiber internet and biometric security, meeting rooms, and a global multi-location pass.

💳 Two Ways In

Two ways to work with us

Start with the EOR alone, or add the workspace from day one — either way, there’s no local entity to register and no long-term lease to negotiate on your own.

Figures reflect Zero-Ten Park's published EOR and EOR + Workspace rates. Your actual invoice depends on each employee's real gross salary and statutory contributions, and will be confirmed in your proposal before anything is signed.

🧮 Cost Calculator

Run your own numbers before choosing a city

Adjust the headcount and salary below to see what EOR Philippines plus a managed workspace would cost your team — the location only changes which office it lands in, not the formula.

Number of employees
Gross monthly salary (per employee, USD)

This is the employee's take-home salary before government contributions and fees — not your total cost.

Estimate only — not legal, tax, or financial advice. Government-mandated contributions (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG) are computed against each employee’s actual gross salary and confirmed in your proposal, not derived from this calculator.

🧾 One-Time Setup, Explained

What the one-time setup actually covers

Every EOR Philippines proposal we send includes a one-time setup total on the first invoice, regardless of which of our three locations you choose. Here's what each part of it is actually for.

PER TEAM

EOR funds

Tied to people. Each fund equals one month of salary plus employer benefits, for every employee.

  • Prepaid payroll fund
    Operating float so wages and benefits clear on time.
  • Security deposit
    Held against final pay and severance obligations.
  • Contingency fund
    Buffer for 13th-month pay and payroll adjustments.
PER OFFICE

Workspace funds

Tied to the space. Each fund equals one month of workspace rent — only if you add the workspace bundle.

  • Initial setup cost
    One-time fit-out and activation of your desks.
  • Security deposit
    Refundable deposit held against the lease.
  • Advance rent
    Your first month of rent, paid up front.
⚖️ The Honest Comparison

Doing it yourself vs. doing it with us

Building this yourself usually means a payroll vendor, a separate office lease, and a lawyer for anything ambiguous — three contracts, three bills, three people to chase. Here's the difference once EOR Philippines and the workspace come from one partner.

Stitching it together yourself
✕A payroll vendor who has never seen your office lease
✕A separate office lease, fit-out, and deposits to negotiate on your own
✕A local lawyer billing by the question for anything ambiguous
✕Foreign-exchange surprises on every cross-border invoice
✕No one on the ground in the Philippines when a payroll run breaks
vs
Zero-Ten Park, all in one
✓Legal employment under our existing Philippine entity
✓A managed desk or office, ready from day one — no separate lease to chase
✓A dedicated Philippine HR team who already knows your team
✓One clean monthly invoice, in USD or AUD
✓13th-month pay, SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG already handled
🎯 Who This Is For

Who tends to get the most out of this

Teams that reach for the bundle instead of the EOR alone tend to fall into a few recognizable shapes — see if yours is one of them.

📈Startups

Scaling AU & US startups

Building an offshore team of two to fifty without burning runway on paid-up capital or a six-month permit process.

💼Agencies

Agencies & BPO operators

Standing up compliant headcount and professional seats clients can actually visit, without signing a long commercial lease.

🛡️De-risk

Contractor-heavy teams

Converting freelancers into properly employed staff, before misclassification exposure turns into back pay and penalties.

🧭First move

Market testers

Validating the Philippines as a hiring market with a small team, before committing to a permanent setup.

🏠Hybrid

Remote-first companies

Keeping async overlap with the rest of the business, while giving Philippine staff somewhere to work that isn't a kitchen table.

📊Finance

Finance & ops leaders

Wanting one predictable USD or AUD line item, plus an audit trail, instead of five different vendor invoices to reconcile.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

EOR Philippines questions, answered honestly

A few things worth clarifying before your team's first payslip.

As a flat monthly fee per employee, not a menu of add-ons that shows up later. Most companies using EOR Philippines through Zero-Ten Park pay $230 per employee per month for legal employment and compliance alone, or $350 if they also want a managed workspace bundled in at any of our three locations. Government-mandated contributions are billed at actual cost against your team's real salaries, not estimated in advance.

No. Your hires are employed under Zero-Ten Park's existing Philippine entity, which is the entire point of an employer-of-record setup — you skip the paid-up capital requirement and the incorporation timeline entirely.

It legally employs your Philippine hires under its own registered entity, so you don't have to set one up yourself. Zero-Ten Park handles the employment contract, payroll, tax filing, and mandatory government contributions, while you direct the actual work day to day.

The EOR-only plan covers legal employment, payroll, and statutory compliance for $230 per employee per month. The bundle adds a managed desk or private office, fiber internet, biometric security, and a global multi-location pass for $350 per employee per month. Neither plan requires you to register a Philippine entity.

They're mostly refundable funds we hold so payroll runs on time and your workspace is secured from day one — not an extra fee on top of your recurring invoice. They appear once, on your very first invoice, and your recurring monthly bill never includes them again.

Termination follows a notice period and process set out in your service agreement, including how any security deposit and final pay are handled. We'll walk you through the specifics of your specific plan before you sign anything, not after.
