Featured questions
Am I legally exposed hiring a Filipino VA as a contractor in Australia?+
Potentially yes. Pascua v Doessel Group (2024) confirmed offshore contractors working set hours under direction may be classified as employees, with fines up to $93,900 AUD. Resora's EOR structure keeps you completely outside that jurisdiction.
How is Resora different from Remote.com or Deel?+
They are legal wrappers only, $950–$1,100 per person per month, with no recruiting and no ongoing management. Resora does all three from $150/month.
Am I exposed if I hire directly as a contractor?+
If your worker has fixed hours, uses your systems and follows your direction, a contractor arrangement can create employment ambiguity. Resora is structured to reduce that risk.
Who is the legal employer?+
Resora is the formal employer. You direct the day-to-day work; Resora handles the employment layer.
What does the monthly fee cover?+
Recruitment, employment setup, payroll, compliance handling, HR check-ins and ongoing support.
Is salary included?+
No. Salary is agreed separately and passed through at cost. The management fee covers Resora's service.
Can you employ someone I already work with?+
Yes. Resora can move an existing Philippines-based contractor onto a compliant employment structure without breaking the working relationship.
Structure and compliance
How does Resora reduce employment risk?+
Resora becomes the formal employer of your team member, structured to reduce the contractor ambiguity many Australian businesses carry.
Are workers protected?+
Yes. Every Resora team member is formally employed, paid fairly and supported through a proper employment structure.
Pricing
How do the tiers work?+
Months 1–3 use Compliance Foundation. From month 4 you pick Managed Compliance, Growth Plus or Scale Premium.
Can I change tier later?+
Yes. You can move tiers as the role evolves.
Hiring process
How long does it take?+
