Timor Leste Compliance

Compliance in Timor Leste is governed by the Labor Code and monitored by the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications. Employers must contribute approximately 10-20% for social security to the National Social Security Institute (INSS), with payroll typically run monthly. A key risk for foreign companies is misclassifying employees and contractors under local law, leading to severe penalties. PayDD's EOR service acts as the legal employer, assuming all liability. We ensure correct classification, manage INSS filings, and guarantee adherence to local contracts, holidays, and termination procedures, eliminating compliance exposure.

Case Study

An Australian renewable energy consultancy needed to deploy a project team in Dili but faced prohibitive delays and fees setting up a local entity and using SWIFT for payroll. They used PayDD's EOR service. We onboarded their five engineers with 2-hour AI KYC, managed all employment contracts under Timor Leste's Labor Code, and processed USD salaries via local bank transfer with T+1 settlement. The result was a 90% faster market entry and a 40% reduction in cross-border payment costs, allowing the project to commence on schedule and under budget.
