Hire your first remote professional via EOR — operational in 48 hours, zero UK employment liability.
VLS Sourcing becomes the legal employer of your remote hire in India. You direct the work. We carry all employment obligations — contracts, payroll, statutory deductions, and HR compliance. Zero liability on your UK entity.
You take on day-one unfair dismissal risk under ERA 2026, pay 15% Employer NI, and absorb all statutory obligations.
VLS employs the person in India. You pay a single monthly service fee. Zero UK employment law exposure.
HMRC may determine your contractor is "inside IR35" — triggering unpaid tax, penalties, and back-dated NI claims.
You pay VLS Sourcing a service fee. The individual is not a UK contractor. IR35 does not apply.
Advertising, interviews, offer, notice period, onboarding — typically 8–14 weeks for a UK hire.
Once you choose your candidate, we have contracts signed and payroll set up within 48 working hours.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that legally employs workers on behalf of another business. When VLS Sourcing acts as your EOR in India, we handle the employment contract, local payroll, statutory deductions, and HR compliance — while you retain full day-to-day direction of the individual's work. For UK businesses, this structure means no Employer NI liability, no pension auto-enrolment obligations, and no exposure to the Employment Rights Act 2026 or IR35 for those roles.
The Employment Rights Act 2026 removes the 2-year qualifying period for unfair dismissal claims — creating meaningful risk every time a UK employer makes a hiring decision. Here is how VLS Sourcing's EOR model removes that risk entirely.
From April 2026: UK employees will be entitled to bring unfair dismissal claims from day one (subject to a statutory 6-month initial period). Combined with the 15% Employer NI rate and rising tribunal awards, the cost of a wrong UK hire has never been higher. VLS Sourcing's EOR model ensures these obligations do not apply to your remote hires.
