Employ engineers, designers, finance and support staff in Pakistan without a local entity. RRI is the legal employer: Pakistan-law contract, FBR tax, EOBI, provincial social security, medical cover, leave and gratuity. Your teams in the EU, EEA, Switzerland or Türkiye direct the work; you pay one monthly invoice in euros.
For European companies, Pakistan offers something the Americas and Australia do not: your Pakistan team can work your entire office day. Most hesitation is about data protection, because Pakistan has no EU adequacy decision. That is a solved problem, using the Commission's standard contractual clauses, a transfer impact assessment and real controls on devices and access. RRI handles the Pakistani employer side, contracts, payroll, tax and social security, and gives your data protection officer the documentation to sign off the transfer side.
Role, city, salary, working hours and any data-protection requirements from your DPO.
Employment contract under Pakistani law with IP assignment, confidentiality and your group policy annexes.
FBR, EOBI, provincial social security and medical cover before first payday.
Approve time and leave, receive the EUR invoice, salaries and payslips paid in rupees on the agreed date.

You pay the real cost of employing the person in Pakistan, gross salary, statutory contributions, gratuity provision and medical cover, and a fixed RRI fee per employee per month. No mark-up on salary and no currency spread.
No. Transfers of personal data from the EU or EEA to staff in Pakistan therefore need an Article 46 safeguard, in practice the European Commission standard contractual clauses, together with a transfer impact assessment. We sign the processing terms with you and provide the details of our safeguards that your assessment needs.
Not if you use RRI. Employing someone resident in Pakistan directly would normally require local employer registrations for tax and social security. As employer of record, RRI holds those registrations and the contract, so your company does not.
The best of any Western market. Pakistan is four hours ahead of Central European Time and three hours ahead in summer. A 1pm to 10pm Pakistan shift covers a full 9am to 6pm day in Berlin, Paris or Amsterdam in winter, and the shift moves one hour when European clocks change.
Yes, in EUR as standard. Other European currencies such as GBP, CHF, SEK or PLN, and Turkish lira for Türkiye-based companies, can be arranged on request.
Our service is supplied to your business from outside the EU, so your accountant will normally account for VAT under the reverse-charge mechanism. The invoice is itemised to support that.
