Head of EOR & Payroll Operations, Aniday
I run Aniday's Employer of Record and payroll delivery across 15 markets in Asia. Over the last nine years I have personally onboarded more than 600 employees for companies entering Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia — and signed off the payroll runs that followed.
On this blog I write about what actually breaks in a cross-border hire: probation clauses that are not enforceable, social-insurance bases that get miscalculated, work permits that stall at the provincial labour department. Everything here comes from files we have handled, not from a summary of someone else's guide.
