What We Do
Vietnam's On-the-Ground Payroll Partner for Offshore Teams
Founded in 2016, Talent JDI is the specialist HR and payroll partner for global companies managing teams in Vietnam from abroad — in Singapore, the US, Australia, and Europe. We run payroll on the ground so you don't have to.
Unlike global payroll platforms that apply a one-size-fits-all model, Talent JDI has in-house Vietnamese HR and legal experts who know local regulations, monitor regulatory updates, and file directly with Vietnamese authorities on your behalf.
Local VND salary disbursement to employee bank accounts
PIT withholding, SHUI remittance & trade union filings
Year-end PIT finalisation with the General Dept of Taxation
Foreign employee tax residency & SHUI exemption handling
No Vietnam legal entity required when combined with EOR
Managed Payroll
Monthly salary runs, gross-to-net calculations, all statutory deductions, and VND bank disbursement. You approve the numbers — we execute everything else.
Local Compliance
PIT filings, SHUI remittances, trade union contributions, and annual tax finalisation — all filed with Vietnamese authorities by our in-house compliance team.
Dedicated Account Manager
A named HR specialist based in Vietnam handles your account. They know your team, your reporting needs, and your compliance status — always.
Why Teams Switch to Us
What offshore teams actually need from a Vietnam payroll partner
Most companies come to us after a compliance penalty, a late payment, or a global platform that couldn't handle Vietnam properly.
We handle everything — you just approve the numbers
Payroll calculations, VND disbursement, PIT filing, SHUI remittance, 13th-month salary, year- end tax finalisation, offboarding settlements. One partner, no hand- offs. You review a summary once a month and sign off.
There's a real person in Vietnam handling your account
Not a support ticket queue. A dedicated account manager based in Vietnam who knows your team by name, handles employee questions locally, and is reachable when something comes up — not just during business hours in a different time zone.
You won't get fined for something you didn't know about
Vietnam's payroll rules change every year — SHUI rates, PIT brackets, minimum wages, Labor Code circulars. We track all of it and updateyour payroll before deadlines hit. You don't need to follow any of it yourself.
You know the full cost before anyone signs a contract
We give you a complete employer cost breakdown upfront — gross salary, SHUI contributions, trade union, PIT estimate, total cost to company. No surprises three months in when the first SHUI bill arrives.
You don't need to set up a Vietnamese company first
If you don't have a local entity, our Employer of Record service covers it. We hold the employment contracts in Vietnam — your team works for you, we deal with the legal and compliance side. No WFOE, no representative office, no 6-month setup wait.

Cost Transparency
What Does It Actually Cost to Pay a Team Member in Vietnam?
Vietnam's statutory employer contributions total 23.5% on top of gross salary. Most offshore companies discover this after hiring. Here's the full breakdown — so there are no surprises.
Employer Contributions per Employee
For every USD of gross salary you pay a Vietnamese employee, you must also remit these statutory contributions to Vietnamese authorities. Talent JDI calculates and pays all of these on your behalf.
Employee Deductions & PIT
Employees also contribute from their gross salary. Talent JDI withholds these automatically and remits them each month — your team's net pay arrives at their accounts with nothing left for them to calculate.
* SHUI contribution caps apply based on the minimum wage ceiling. Foreign employees may be exempt from certain contributions under bilateral agreements. Talent JDI assesses each case individually.

From Zero to First Payslip in Under Two Weeks
We've onboarded hundreds of offshore teams. Here's exactly what happens when you engage Talent JDI — and what your team experiences every month after that.
Brief & Compliance Review
We review your team structure, headcount, existing contracts, and current payroll setup. Our compliance team flags any gaps and outlines exactly what we'll handle.
Data Collection & Configuration
We collect employee data, salary structures, banking details, and benefit entitlements. Your payroll is configured in our system with all deductions mapped to Vietnamese statutory rates.
Test Run & Sign-off
We run a test payroll cycle — you review the numbers, confirm the output, and approve. Once sign-off is received, the first live payroll run is scheduled.
Change Submission & Calculation
You submit any changes — new hires, salary adjustments, bonuses, resignations. We calculate all gross-to-net figures and send you the payroll summary for approval.
VND Disbursement & Filing
Salaries land in employee accounts in Vietnamese Dong. Simultaneously, PIT withholdings are remitted to GDT and SHUI contributions are paid to the Vietnam Social Security agency.
Report Delivery & Support
You receive a complete payroll report and payslips. Your account manager is available for any employee queries, regulatory updates, or ad-hoc adjustments through the month.

Common Questions About Hiring Developers in Vietnam
Everything you need to know before your first brief.
Vietnam's Labor Code 2019 does not mandate a 13th-month salary as a standalone statutory requirement. However, if it is written into an employee's labor contract, a collective bargaining agreement, or your company's internal labor regulations, it becomes a legally binding obligation — not optional.
In practice, the 13th-month salary is near-universal in Vietnam, typically paid in January or February ahead of Lunar New Year. Skipping it — even if not contractually required — is one of the fastest ways to lose talent in a competitive market. Most offshore employers budget for it as a fixed annual cost equivalent to one month's salary.
The 13th-month payment is subject to PIT and must be included in reporting. Talent JDI factors this into the December–January payroll cycle and advises clients on how to structure it compliantly in employment contracts.
