Grow your team in Myanmar with Remote
Companies hiring in Myanmar are typically required to either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider to employ on the company's behalf. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Myanmar can get complicated fast, especially without localized expertise.
If you’re looking to start hiring in a country like this, using a global employment platform like Remote makes it easy to hire quickly, cost-effectively, and in full compliance with all local legislation.
In the countries where we do offer our employer of record product, Remote takes on the responsibility and legal risks of international employment so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.
Risks of misclassification
Myanmar, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Myanmar may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
