Global EoR, Local HR and Compliance

Hire engineers in India without a local entity. We are the legal employer, and you direct the work.

Global EoR and Payroll

Employment contracts, payroll, tax deductions and compliance for the people you name, onboarded without a legal entity in that country. India is our primary market, with the UAE and the United States also covered. Other markets are quoted once we see the hire.

Local HR Administration

Benefits, leave tracking, performance reviews and statutory filings, handled without you standing up an HR desk in that country. You still direct the work, and we stay the legal employer on record.

Compliance and Risk

Labour laws, tax codes and employment rules in the markets we cover, monitored with legal advisors and local regulatory bodies, with policies updated as rules change. When your own entity is ready, we support converting the hire to a direct contract.

What an Employer of Record Replaces

Entity setup, payroll risk and an HR desk you do not want to run in another country.

What You Get

Teams launched without a local entity, compliant hiring across payroll and taxes, and room to scale without a subsidiary. Visa and work-permit paperwork is named in the quote, so nothing surprises you after kickoff.

The Full Lifecycle

Contracts, onboarding, payroll, benefits, taxes, compliance, visa processing and exit formalities, handled from the first offer letter to the last payslip.

EoR or a Staffing Agency

A staffing agency finds people. An EoR legally employs them and carries the compliance. For a managed team without the employment layer, see our IT staff augmentation.

EoR or a PEO

A PEO shares employment with your own entity. An EoR is the legal employer outright, which is what you need when you are expanding without local infrastructure.

Rates and Models

Typical work starts at $25 to $49 per hour. Role and seniority set the quote.

Hourly Rate

$25 to $49 per hour for engineering roles, with seniority and skill moving the figure inside that band. You see the rate for each role before anyone starts.

EoR Contract

Payroll, benefits and legal employment on top of the team rate, itemised in the quote so you can see exactly what the employment layer costs.

Dedicated Team

Named engineers working inside your process without EoR, through our dedicated software development teams, when you already have an entity or prefer us to employ the team.

Frequently Asked Questions

A QA team is the group of people who test a product before and after release: functional, regression, automation, performance and security testing, depending on the contract. Through an Employer of Record arrangement, Vervali can legally employ that team in India while you direct their work, so you get dedicated testers without opening a local entity or running payroll there.

It is skilled work. Good testers combine product knowledge, technical depth and the judgement to find what others miss, and the best ones are in demand. That is why employment matters: under an Employer of Record arrangement, Vervali hires and retains QA engineers in India for you, working under ISO/IEC 17025 and CMMI Level 3 processes, while you set their priorities.

There is no single agreed list of seven. Most quality frameworks cover requirements, test planning, test design, execution, defect management, reporting and release support, with process improvement running through all of them. What matters more than the count is whether each stage has an owner. Testers employed through our Employer of Record service work within that structure inside your own process.

Pay depends on market, seniority and skill more than the title. QA roles that include automation, performance or security testing usually pay more than manual quality control roles. For engineering work through Vervali, typical rates are $25 to $49 per hour, and an Employer of Record contract adds payroll, benefits and legal employment on top, itemised in the quote.

Staff augmentation adds named people to your team who work inside your process and tools, while the vendor carries their employment, replacement and leave. An Employer of Record goes one step further and becomes the legal employer in a country where you have no entity, handling payroll, compliance and benefits. In both, direction of the work stays with you, and the contract names which shape you are buying.

It means adding people to your team without hiring them onto your own payroll. You keep direction of the work, while the vendor carries employment, replacement and leave. With an Employer of Record, the vendor is also the legal employer in that country, which is the right shape when you want engineers in India and have no entity there yet.

Buyers use both words, but they differ. Staff augmentation puts people inside your team under your direction. Outsourcing usually means a scoped outcome the vendor owns. An Employer of Record legally employs the people you direct. One contract can blur all three, so we name the shape in the quote and you know exactly who owns the work and who owns the employment.

Judge a vendor on whether the people are named, whether employment and compliance are written into the contract, and whether the team works in your hours. Ranked lists rarely test those things. Vervali has 275+ engineers, offices in the UAE, India and New Zealand, works 9am to 1pm Eastern, and offers a free two-week pilot on one module before you commit.
