Employment, EOR, and secondment contracts

Contracts that put people on the ground — employment, EOR, secondment. Visas stay gaps. Employee confidentiality is not a commercial NDA.

Scope the contracts that put people on the ground. Not a visa hub.

A first hire or first EOR is a single matter. Employment templates across a team sit in a module.

Employment Agreement

Local employment contract. Bilingual drafts are common in Thailand. Statutory labour facts are gaps, not opinions.

The letter before the contract. Startups sometimes stop here; the pack flags whether a full agreement still sits as a gap.

Contractor, not employee. Philippines misclassification culture is a destination hint, not advice.

Consulting by an individual or a firm. Neighbour of contractor and of services agreement.

Employee of one company sitting inside another. Immigration remains a gap, not this page’s hub.

Director or executive services, sometimes without a full local employment contract.

Inventions and IP assignment from individuals. US startup stacks expect this next to the offer letter.

Post-employment restraint. Duration and geography are pack facts; enforceability is not Orbid’s opinion.

Do not hire or poach. Often paired with non-compete and confidentiality.

Employee-side confidentiality, distinct from a commercial NDA.

Employer of record so an origin company can hire before a local entity exists. First-hire pattern in the Philippines and elsewhere.

Is this a visa hub?

No. These are contracts that put people on the ground. Visas stay gaps.

When is EOR the first paper?

When an origin company wants to hire before a local entity exists. Common as a first-hire pattern in the Philippines.

Are Thai employment contracts often bilingual?

Bilingual drafts are common. The pack records which language the employee will sign and which entity is named as employer.
