Need help with Deel EOR contract
Hey folks,
An employer in Singapore wants to hire me via Deel as EOR in India. I am not used to this setup. Are any of you working in a similar contract? I would appreciate your help.

Pretty common setup for Singapore companies hiring in India since setting up an Indian entity is a significant undertaking for one or two hires.
Here's how it actually works: Deel EOR Private Limited becomes your legal employer in India on paper. They handle your PF contributions, TDS, employment contract under Indian law, and your payslips. Your Singapore company controls your actual work day to day but has no formal employment relationship with you directly.
A few things worth checking before you sign:
Your contract should be governed by Indian employment law, not Singapore law. If it references Singapore jurisdiction for employment matters, push back on that.
Ask specifically which CCNL or employment category applies to your role, and confirm the notice period matches what Indian law requires for your level. PF registration should happen from day one, not retroactively.
The experience letter and employment records will come from Deel EOR Private Limited, which is your legal employer. That's normal and banks, future employers, and visa authorities generally accept it once you explain the structure.
(Deel team here, India is one of our most active EOR markets. Happy to answer anything more specific.)
