Answers before you ask.
The questions US engineering and legal teams ask us most.
An EOR is a company that legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you have no entity. AppTuring hires the engineers in Vietnam through our licensed local entities, runs their payroll, taxes, and benefits, and handles full local compliance — while you direct their day-to-day work.
