Employer of Record (EOR) services in Uzbekistan

An Employer of Record in Uzbekistan is a third-party provider that becomes the legal employer of your staff. The EOR manages contracts, payroll, benefits, and compliance with local labor and tax laws, while you direct the employee’s day-to-day activities. This allows you to hire in Uzbekistan quickly without opening a local entity.

Foreign companies can partner with an EOR that already has a registered entity in Uzbekistan. The EOR hires employees on your behalf, manages payroll and benefits, and ensures compliance with regulations. This eliminates the need to spend months setting up a subsidiary.

The EOR takes care of:​

- Drafting and registering compliant employment contracts
- Withholding and filing income tax (generally 12%)
- Processing social security contributions and pension payments
- Managing statutory leave, probation, and termination rules
- Keeping pace with changes in labor and tax legislation

An EOR calculates salaries in Uzbekistani Som, withholds taxes, and makes employer contributions to social funds. They also administer statutory benefits such as paid annual leave, sick leave, and maternity leave. Optional perks like health insurance or allowances can be included if you want to provide a more attractive package.

The total cost typically includes the employee’s gross salary plus an EOR service fee. Fees are either flat-rate per employee or a percentage of payroll. While provider pricing varies, an EOR is generally more cost-effective than setting up and maintaining your own local entity.

Onboarding through an EOR usually takes 1–3 weeks, depending on how quickly documents are prepared and approved. This includes drafting contracts, registering employees, and setting up payroll.

An EOR employs staff under its own local entity, making it the right choice for companies without a presence in Uzbekistan. A PEO requires you to have your own registered entity and works on a co-employment basis. For foreign companies entering the market, EOR is the simpler, faster option.

The EOR assumes responsibility for compliance with local laws on contracts, payroll, benefits, and taxes. This helps protect your business from risks such as misclassification, improper terminations, or incorrect tax filings.

Yes. If you establish your own subsidiary in Uzbekistan, employees can be smoothly transferred from the EOR to your local entity. The EOR manages the transition to ensure compliance and continuity.
