What legal requirements exist for employment in Pakistan
An employment contract in written form should include the employment conditions and the salary amount. The contract is considered to be valid when both parties provide their signatures.
Employers must pay their employees at least the minimum wage. The minimum wage in Pakistan differs based on the provinces in the country and the experience of the worker.
Employers are obliged by law to contribute towards employee social security every month. Social security contributions include pensions for old age, survivors, invalidity, injuries, maternity, and other related employee issues.
Employers are responsible for withholding income tax from their employees’ salaries and remitting it to tax authorities.
Before they can start hiring in Pakistan, employers must obtain a National Tax Number (NTN). A company or an association of persons are assigned an NTN or a Registration Number when they e-enroll on the FBR Iris portal.

What you need to know?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is an independent organisation that takes over the legal responsibilities of employing individuals on behalf of another company. The EOR provider will take care of your administrative and compliance tasks, such as payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and compliance with local laws.
The costs for using EOR services in Pakistan can be different, depending on the provider you choose, the number of employees you want to onboard, and the scope of services you require. As an EOR provider trusted by global companies in 85+ countries, Native Teams offers a flexible pricing structure customised per your unique business needs.

An EOR provider will take over the role of being the legal employer for your employees, meaning they will take the responsibility of hiring and onboarding, managing payroll, administering benefits, withholding taxes, and other essential functions. As such, EOR providers can be a great choice for companies that want to hire workers in specific countries but don’t have their own legal entities there.
PEO providers cover only a few of these responsibilities, including HR functions like payroll and benefits administration. The client company stays the legal employer of the workers and retains a shared responsibility for compliance and employment management. Hence, PEO providers can be beneficial for companies that have legal entities in the country of employment but want to get expert assistance with essential HR operations.
The main responsibility of EOR providers is assuming the role of legal employer for your team members in specific countries. This means that your employees will be formally employed through the provider’s legal entities in their residential countries. In addition to this, EOR providers handle tasks such as administration of employee benefits, provision of employment contracts, processing payroll and withholding taxes, and more.
EOR providers will handle all of these operations while ensuring that everything is compliant with each employee’s local labour laws, allowing you to fully focus on the core operations of your business without worrying about employment-related tasks.
Yes, using EOR services in Pakistan is completely legal. In fact, the main responsibility of your EOR provider will be ensuring that you’re compliant with local labour laws for businesses hiring team members from the country.
Establishing your own company in Pakistan is a complex process that requires a lot of time, resources, and legal expertise. The process includes registering with the local authorities, obtaining a tax number, opening business bank accounts, and even finding physical office space before you can hire anyone from the country.
An EOR provider will help you skip the legal entity establishment process so you can hire quickly and more cost-effectively. Through their legal entities in Pakistan, you can hire team members and have the entire employment management handled in compliance with local laws.
There is no specific limit on the number of employees you can hire in Pakistan or any other country. Using the services of an EOR provider, you can secure legal employment for yourself and employ as many individuals as your business requires.
