PTL Group

PTL Group provides Employer of Record (EOR) and broader operational support services for international companies doing business in China. Acting as the official local employer on a client's behalf, it takes on the employment relationship and the legal and administrative responsibilities that come with it, so companies can engage Chinese employees without first setting up their own local presence.

Its EOR work covers the full employee life cycle: recruitment and hiring, labour contract arrangements, payroll, social benefits payments, tax filings, compensation and benefits, and termination processes. Because China combines national labour laws that are revised periodically with provincial rules and supplementary regulations, PTL Group focuses on keeping client employment arrangements aligned with both national and local requirements, including data protection obligations under the Personal Information Protection Law.

EOR is one part of PTL Group's HR services in China, which also include recruitment and ongoing HR management. The company positions EOR as a way for international firms to start operating quickly, since hiring and HR management can begin without relocating a foreign manager to China, and its EOR team works alongside its other service areas to support clients' wider local operations.
