Question 1

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

Accepted Answer

An EOR is a third-party organisation that legally employs workers on behalf of another company, handling payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance while the client company directs day-to-day work.

Question 2

Why use an EOR in India instead of setting up a local entity?

Accepted Answer

Setting up a legal entity in India takes months and requires significant capital. An EOR lets you hire compliantly within days, without the overhead of a local subsidiary.

Question 3

Is Acceler8 Global the legal employer?

Yes, for EOR engagements. Your business maintains full operational direction while we handle all legal employment obligations.

Question 4

What roles can you hire through Acceler8 EOR?

Question 5

Do you support part-time or fractional workers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our model supports full-time, part-time, and fractional arrangements, ideal for project-based or seasonal talent needs.

Question 6

Can you manage teams across multiple Indian states?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We operate across all Indian states and comply with both central and state-specific labour laws.

Question 7

How do you ensure compliance with Indian labour laws?

Accepted Answer

Our dedicated legal and compliance teams continuously monitor changes across central and state legislation, including the Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Social Security Code, and Occupational Safety Code.

Question 8

Who owns the IP created by my India team?

Accepted Answer

Your business retains all intellectual property rights. Our employment contracts include clear IP assignment clauses protecting your ownership.

Question 9

How is pricing structured?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the service. For EOR, we charge a transparent management fee on top of the employee's cost-to-company, with all statutory costs and admin charges disclosed upfront. For accounting, payroll and tax, pricing is scoped to team size and volume, we don't publish rates because a number means nothing before we've mapped the work. What we can tell you upfront: we're not the cheapest option in this category, and the firms that pick us aren't looking for the cheapest.

Question 10

Are there any hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

No. We believe in full pricing transparency. Everything is disclosed in your service agreement before engagement begins.

Question 11

How quickly can a new hire start?

Accepted Answer

Typically days, not months, from offer letter to first working day, including documentation, background checks, and payroll setup.

Question 12

What do I need to provide to get started?

Accepted Answer

Candidate details, proposed compensation, and start date for EOR; for accounting, payroll or tax, access to your systems and your existing process documentation. Our team handles everything else from there.

Question 13

How is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

Your data never leaves your environment. No downloads, no local storage, no removable media, ever. Aligned to SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and NIST 800-53, see our Data & Security page for the full detail.

Question 14

Do you sign NDAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mutual non-disclosure agreements are standard for all clients, covering all business and employee information.
