You’ve discovered a top freelancer whose contributions have exceeded expectations, and now you want to offer them a permanent spot on your team. But transitioning them from contractor to full-time employee can seem daunting, riddled with complexities like contract revisions, payroll conversions, and benefits administration.
Navigating the Conversion Maze
Converting a contractor to full-time involves several crucial steps
- Contract Modification—Existing freelance agreements need revision to comply with local employment laws in the relevant Central Asian country.
- Payroll Conversion—Hourly rates must be translated into annual salaries, considering taxes, benefits, and other deductions.
- Benefits Implementation—Depending on your company’s policies and local regulations, you may offer paid time off, health insurance, or other benefits.
- Legal and Regulatory Compliance—Adhering to labor laws, tax regulations, and social security contributions is crucial to avoid penalties and legal issues.
What Happens if Your Contractor is in Another Country?
If you contractor was working for you in another country, then things tend to get a little complicated. To hire them directly, you typically need an entity in the country. This will costs thousands of dollars to set up, will require continued maintenance, and you’ll need a deep understanding of local employment laws and regulations.
In this case, the simpler way to operate is through an employer of record (EoR) service. An EoR will become the legal employer of the employee facilitating paroll, compliance, and more. If you have a contractor in Central Asia, then Truss may be able to help.
