Remote Workforce / Employer of Record
Hire overseas employees without opening a local entity.
C9 GROUP Employer of Record support helps Australian businesses employ remote talent in new markets with clearer contracts, payroll administration, onboarding and workforce coordination.

Employment documentation is aligned to the hiring location, role structure and local worker requirements.
Payroll
Recurring payroll clarity

Support
Human employee support
Employees and employers have a support layer for admin questions, leave, changes and offboarding coordination.
Flexibility
Scale or exit cleanly
Add roles, move into your own entity or adjust market plans without rebuilding the workforce model from scratch.

How It Works
Your team leads the work. C9 supports the employment structure.
An EOR helps you hire an employee in a location where you do not have your own legal entity. Your business still directs the role, priorities, tools, outcomes and performance expectations.
C9 supports the surrounding employment administration: onboarding steps, contract coordination, payroll inputs, leave support, workforce records and practical employee requests.
- Use EOR for first hires in a new location.
- Keep day-to-day management inside your business.
- Reduce the admin load around local employment and payroll.
- Build a path toward larger offshore teams when the model proves itself.
