Practical Examples
Tech Company Hiring Developers
A European software company needed to quickly hire three senior developers with specialized skills that were available in Armenia. Rather than establishing an entity (which would have taken 3-6 months), they used an EOR service to compliantly employ the developers within two weeks, saving approximately 50,000 in entity setup costs and accelerating their project timeline by four months.
Market Testing Before Full Entry
A US-based manufacturing company wanted to explore the Armenian market by hiring a small local sales team. Using an EOR service allowed them to employ a country manager and two sales representatives compliantly while assessing market potential. After a successful 18-month trial period, they established their own entity with confidence in the market's viability.
Remote Team Expansion
A global digital marketing agency needed to quickly scale their design team and identified several talented designers in Armenia. Using an EOR solution, they were able to hire five designers in full compliance with local laws, provide competitive benefits, and integrate them into their global workflow, all without navigating the complex process of entity establishment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record is a service that legally employs workers on your behalf in a foreign country. The EOR takes full responsibility for all legal compliance, payroll, benefits administration, and tax withholding while you maintain control over the employees' day-to-day activities and work product.
How is an EOR different from outsourcing or contracting?
Unlike outsourcing or contracting where you engage with independent contractors or third-party service providers, an EOR creates a compliant employment relationship. The workers are legally employed with proper benefits, tax withholding, and social security contributions, which eliminates misclassification risks.
What are the key labor laws in Armenia that foreign employers need to know?
Armenian labor law specifies a maximum 40-hour workweek, with overtime limited to 12 hours per day or 48 hours per week. Employees are entitled to 28 days of annual leave and 140 days of maternity leave. Other requirements include proper employment contracts, workplace safety compliance, and social security contributions.
How quickly can we hire employees through your Armenian EOR service?
In most cases, we can complete the onboarding process and have employees legally working within 1-2 weeks, compared to the 3-6 months typically required to establish a legal entity and set up compliant employment systems.
What employee benefits are required by law in Armenia?
Armenian law requires employers to provide social security contributions, pension fund payments, paid annual leave, paid sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, and observe public holidays. Our EOR service ensures all mandatory benefits are properly administered.
Can we transition employees from the EOR to our own entity later?
Yes, our EOR service includes transition support if you decide to establish your own entity. We'll help manage the compliant transfer of employees to your new entity while ensuring continuity of employment and maintaining all earned benefits and seniority.
How does the EOR handle terminations under Armenian law?
Terminations in Armenia must follow specific legal procedures. Our EOR service ensures all terminations are conducted in compliance with Armenian labor laws, including proper notice periods, documentation, and severance payments when applicable.
