Employment, EOR, and secondment contracts

Contracts that put people on the ground — employment, EOR, secondment. Visas stay gaps. Employee confidentiality is not a commercial NDA.

A first hire or first EOR is a single matter. Employment templates across a team sit in a module.

Employment Agreement

Local employment contract. Bilingual drafts are common in Thailand. Statutory labour facts are gaps, not opinions.

A employment agreement is named before hours start — a local employment contract; bilingual drafts are common in Thailand. Parties, language, and governing-law preference sit as facts for local licensed review.

The Matter Pack for a employment agreement records who signs, which language is the working draft, and which missing names would change the price. Orbid does not fill those gaps with legal advice.

Startups usually buy this employment agreement as a first single matter. Mid-market teams that issue the same form many times in a quarter put it inside an annual counsel module.

Default for a employment agreement is one scoped price. A retainer only makes sense when review volume is recurring. If the project changes, a change order states the new price.

Offer Letter

The letter before the contract. Startups sometimes stop here; the pack flags whether a full agreement still sits as a gap.

Cross-border, a offer letter is paper, not a vibe: the letter before the contract; the pack flags whether a full agreement is still a gap. A destination professional prices review of that named instrument.

For this offer letter the pack lists counterparties, term, territory if any, and the files you already have. Unknowns stay gaps, not extra hours.

A startup sees one offer letter. A mid-market desk sees a template: same skeleton, many counterparties, still reviewed locally per pack.

One offer letter is a single matter unless you already run a cadence of the same form. Extra unnamed paper is not included.

Independent Contractor Agreement

Contractor, not employee. Philippines misclassification culture is a destination hint, not advice.

If the file crosses a border, write the independent contractor agreement into the pack first — contractor, not employee; Philippines misclassification is a destination hint. Unknowns stay gaps.

A independent contractor agreement pack asks which entity on the origin side contracts, which destination name appears, and whether a bilingual draft already exists.

If this is the first independent contractor agreement on the corridor, default is a single matter. If it is the twelfth this quarter, that is a module conversation — Orbid coordinates, and licensed local counsel judges.

Do not stretch one independent contractor agreement price over a second instrument. That is how surprise bills start. Split, or write a change order.

Consulting Agreement

Consulting by an individual or a firm. Neighbour of contractor and of services agreement.

Hours do not start on an unnamed consulting agreement — consulting by an individual or a firm, neighbour of contractor and of services. Local licensed review sees who signs and which language is the working draft.

What sits in the pack around a consulting agreement: asserted facts, planned entities, and the triggers that would reopen price. Orbid does not choose the clause.

Founders often over-buy a stack around a consulting agreement. Mid-market operators under-specify the program. The pack names the actual count.

A retainer that mentions a consulting agreement still uses a Matter Pack per issuance. Scoped packs, not unlimited advice.

Secondment Agreement

Employee of one company sitting inside another. Immigration remains a gap, not this page’s hub.

On this corridor the secondment agreement is the instrument to price — employee of one company sitting inside another; immigration stays a gap. Orbid records that; it does not advise which form you should have chosen.

The secondment agreement line in the pack is a scope, not a draft. Local licensed professionals review what you approved; they are not Orbid employees giving advice in our name.

Startups: one secondment agreement, one price, approve before hours. Mid-market: the form lives in a retainer quota, each issuance still a pack.

If this secondment agreement grows a neighbour — a DPA, a quality paper, a SHA — name the set or pay a second price.

Executive Services Agreement

Director or executive services, sometimes without a full local employment contract.

Name the executive services agreement while talks are still cheap — director or executive services, sometimes without a full local employment contract. A listed destination still accepts the scope; a standing lawyer there is not promised.

Record the executive services agreement with the commercial neighbours it actually has — not a dump of every PDF in the folder. Extra unnamed files are a change order.

The first executive services agreement on a corridor is usually a startup single matter. A net of them is mid-market, and the default flips to an annual module.

Single-matter fits a bounded executive services agreement. Weekly flow of the same form belongs on an annual counsel module.

Invention Assignment Agreement

Inventions and IP assignment from individuals. US startup stacks expect this next to the offer letter.

A invention assignment agreement belongs in the pack — inventions and IP from individuals; US startup stacks expect it next to the offer. Thailand is live review; other corridors stay listed.

Gaps on a invention assignment agreement — missing signatory, missing language, missing term — stay written. They do not convert into silent hourly work.

Do not put a startup invention assignment agreement on a retainer because it feels safer. Retainer is for recurring review volume, not for nerves.

You approve the invention assignment agreement pack before hours. You approve again if the facts move. The price does not jump in silence.

Non-compete Agreement

Post-employment restraint. Duration and geography are pack facts; enforceability is not Orbid’s opinion.

Do not paste an origin non-compete agreement across the border unmarked — post-employment restraint; duration and geography are facts, not Orbid’s opinion. The pack asks which language controls and which entity signs.

The pack treats the non-compete agreement as one priced module unless you name a defined set. A pile of related attachments is not a defined set.

Mid-market counsel modules still scope each non-compete agreement. Unlimited chat about the form is not the product.

Listed-corridor non-compete agreement work is still scoped as a single matter or a module. Scope is accepted; a named lawyer standing by is not promised.

Non-solicitation Agreement

Do not hire or poach. Often paired with non-compete and confidentiality.

The first priced Matter Pack is often this non-solicitation agreement, given that do not hire or poach, often paired with non-compete and confidentiality. Local licensed professionals review; Orbid does not draft as counsel.

Who already signed a previous non-solicitation agreement, and who still has to, is a fact. Orbid records it. Enforceability is not an Orbid opinion.

If the startup does not yet have a destination entity, the non-solicitation agreement may still be scoped — as paper, not as incorporation.

A non-solicitation agreement change order is the exception path: new scope, new price, your yes. It is not a vibe adjustment on the old invoice.

Employee Confidentiality Agreement

Employee-side confidentiality, distinct from a commercial NDA.

Before anyone bills, the employee confidentiality agreement is a line in the pack — employee-side confidentiality, distinct from a commercial NDA. Price-change triggers stay visible.

Working draft versus filing draft for a employee confidentiality agreement are two fields. Mixing them in one unmarked file is a gap.

A mid-market employee confidentiality agreement program lists which affiliates may sign. A startup pack usually names one origin company.

Retainer quota can include employee confidentiality agreement review. It cannot include “whatever else appears.” That is a new pack.

Employer of Record Agreement

Employer of record so an origin company can hire before a local entity exists. First-hire pattern in the Philippines and elsewhere.

A employer-of-record agreement on a cross-border file is scoped, not improvised — hire before a local entity exists; a first-hire pattern in the Philippines. Gaps do not become silent hours.

Price-change triggers for a employer-of-record agreement are written before hours: new party, new territory, new language. If those appear later, a change order states the new price.

Buy the employer-of-record agreement you have, not the library you fear. Startups default small. Mid-market defaults to systems.

Price the employer-of-record agreement you named. Related PDFs without names are gaps, not free add-ons.

Questions

Is this a visa hub?

No. These are contracts that put people on the ground. Visas stay gaps.

When is EOR the first paper?

When an origin company wants to hire before a local entity exists. Common as a first-hire pattern in the Philippines.

Are Thai employment contracts often bilingual?

Bilingual drafts are common. The pack records which language the employee will sign and which entity is named as employer.
