The differentiator

What an EOR handles in Seychelles

An EOR removes the entity and the payroll machinery. It does not remove your obligations as the people manager.

obligationeor coverswhat that means for you
Legal employer of record● fullThe EOR's local entity is the employer on paper. No entity setup required.
Payroll, tax & social security● fullGross-to-net, statutory withholding and employer contributions remitted locally. Employer social security here is 5%.
Compliant local contract● fullDrafted to local labour law and language requirements. Here statutory notice is 4.3 weeks and the wage floor is SCR 6,211/mo.
Statutory leave & public holidays● fullAccrual, tracking and payment run through the local payroll the EOR operates. 21 annual leave, 14 public holidays and 16 weeks maternity leave.
Statutory severance on exit● partialThe EOR computes and processes it, but the cost is billed to you (often pre-funded). Statutory severance here is 7.6 weeks.
Termination decision & risk● partialThe EOR runs the legal process; the business reason, timing and exposure stay yours.
Work permits / visas (foreigners)● partialSome providers sponsor, many don't. Confirm per provider in the table below.
Performance management● noneDay-to-day direction, reviews and PIPs are entirely on your side.
Equity / ESOP administration● noneCross-border equity handling sits outside standard EOR scope.
