What's included

Everything Contractor of Record should be.

We engage contractors on your behalf and take on misclassification risk.

Classification review

Every engagement is checked against local criteria before it starts, so contractors are genuinely independent.

Compliant agreements

Service agreements that fit local law, with clear scope, deliverables and payment terms.

IP assigned to you

Intellectual property and confidentiality clauses flow through to you, not to us.

Tax handled

In Vietnam, we withhold and declare personal income tax on contractor payments where the law requires it.

Pay in local currency

Contractors are paid accurately and on time, in the currency they prefer.

Risk off your books

We act as the contracting party and carry the classification risk, so your company stays protected.

How it works

Four steps. We do the heavy lifting.

01

Share contractor and scope

Tell us who you want to work with and what they'll deliver.

02

We review classification

We check the engagement and flag anything that should be employment instead.

03

Agreement with Nhân Kiệt

The contractor signs a compliant service agreement with us.

04

They invoice, we pay

Approve the work, and we pay the contractor and handle the tax.

How is Contractor of Record different from Contractor Management?

With Contractor of Record, Nhân Kiệt is the contracting party and carries the classification risk. With Contractor Management, you contract directly and we streamline agreements, invoices and payments.

What if a contractor should really be an employee?

We'll tell you during the classification review and can move them onto an Employer of Record contract instead, so they get the right protections.

How is tax handled in Vietnam?

For individual contractors without a labour contract, payments of 2,000,000 VND or more are generally subject to 10% PIT withholding. We withhold, declare and issue the documents the contractor needs.

Who owns the work?

You do. IP assignment and confidentiality clauses in our agreements flow through to your company.
