About Farlinko

The local employer when you do not have a company there

Farlinko provides Employer of Record and payroll outsourcing. We publish the country mechanics that change a hireβ€”CPF, PAYE, eSocial, IMSS, awards, labour codesβ€”and we operate the employment file once the case is in scope.

Why the public research exists

A hiring plan that names the local system is cheaper than a generic global promise

Cross-border hiring goes wrong when the work country, the legal employer, and the payroll calendar are treated as one β€œglobal HR” problem. CPF is not MPF. Aguinaldo is not a U.S. bonus. A Singapore company does not employ someone working in Jakarta.

Farlinko publishes country guides with official sources, two planning calculators, and an editorial policy that states how those pages are researched. The commercial service then runs the employment or payroll file for the markets in scope.

What Farlinko actually delivers

Two services, public country files, and human review on the gates that change a start date

Intake tools organize the case. Specialists review work authorization, classification, and exits. Local employment administration runs against the agreed scope.

EOR

Employer of Record

Farlinko is the local legal employer. Your team selects the person and directs the work. Contracts, payroll, statutory contributions, and employment administration sit in the EOR file.

  • No local entity required for the agreed role
  • Onboarding through offboarding in the work country
  • Itemized employment cost before implementation
Payroll

Payroll outsourcing

Your company remains the legal employer. Farlinko runs agreed calculations, filings, payslips, and finance handoffs for entities you already operate.

  • Calendars, cutoffs, and correction owners
  • Statutory filings kept with the payroll register
  • Use when a local entity already employs the worker
Research

Country files you can check

39 guides cite official sources and show a review date. The labor-cost calculator covers 81 markets with stated assumptions. Corrections follow the editorial policy.

  • Primary-source links on every guide
  • No invented contribution rates
  • Chinese editions of the same country files

CASE FILE
Work countryEmploying modelPayroll calendar

Country, role, pay, authorization, and start date before an offer goes out.

How a case is handled

One commercial relationship. Local execution against a written scope.

Clients contract with Farlinko. Where country specialists or providers support local filings, Farlinko coordinates that work. You do not have to manage the network as a set of separate vendors.

01

Scope the hire from work location, role, compensation, worker status, and target date.

02

Choose EOR or payroll from whether a local employing entity already exists.

03

Run the calendar for documents, pay cycles, changes, and exits, with human review on authorization, classification, and termination.

Where this sits in a hiring plan

From market file to first payroll

Use a country guide and the labor-cost calculator before you request a scoped quote. Farlinko currently operates Employer of Record and payroll. Entity incorporation, immigration sponsorship, and tax-presence opinions are confirmed case by case, not assumed from the EOR model.

01Country file

Open the work-country guide and name the statutory system.

02Cost model

Separate salary, employer on-cost, extra pay, and service fee.

03Employ

EOR where there is no entity; payroll where your entity already employs.

04Pay

Run the local calendar, filings, and employee records.

05Change or exit

Route material events through the local process before communicating them.

Operating rules we will put in writing

Assumptions, sources, and responsibility stay visible

01

No generic country quote

Currency, location, compensation, benefits, authorization status, and service scope are reviewed before a figure is treated as a quote.

02

Official sources on the guides

Country pages cite primary authorities and show a verification date. Calculator rows state the rate model and the caveats.

03

Human review on the gates

Work authorization, worker classification, discipline, and exits are not closed by a workflow checkbox.

04

Chinese and English case handling

Outbound teams from mainland China can plan in Chinese against the same country files used on the English site.

Start with the work country

Bring the role, location, pay, and target start date

We will map the likely employing model, the statutory items that belong in year one, and the items that still need local confirmation.
