Country fit & local delivery
Delivery
Comply.ph offers Philippine EOR through Comply Global Technologies Inc, taking formal employment while the customer manages daily work. Its about page names cofounders Shelumiel Ryan Abapo and Michael Brodie. Official SEC registration, eligibility/visa restrictions and hire-specific onboarding dependencies were not verified; marketing about hiring in days is not a guaranteed start.

Costs, deposits & currency
Pricing
Current primary pricing advertises EOR at USD150 per employee/month. Payroll Support is a separate PHP500/employee/month add-on to the PHP8000 accounting service; the payroll-only product says the client approves and pays salaries. These are different scopes and currencies, not interchangeable EOR prices. Employment costs and optional services require a complete quote.

Refund promise scope
The company-incorporation/compliance how-it-works page advertises a30-day satisfaction/money-back guarantee, while the general refund policy has completed-work and third-party exclusions. This needs written product-specific clarification; the broad company-system promise was not automatically attributed to the EOR product.

Billing
Billing policy dated9 March2026 explicitly includes EOR support: invoices are due upon receipt, recurring services are normally billed in advance, and government/tax/third-party costs are separate. PHP is the default unless agreed; international bank/conversion charges fall to the customer. Late payment may suspend service or incur administrative charges. No EOR-specific payroll reserve amount, FX spread or reserve-release deadline is disclosed.

Refund exit
The refund policy allows requests before work starts or where provider-attributable non-delivery occurs; completed work and paid government/third-party costs are generally non-refundable, partial refunds discretionary, approved refunds normally5–10 business days. Recurring cancellation generally needs30 days unless agreed and the current period is non-refundable. These are service billing terms, not employee statutory termination, transfer or severance rules.

Payroll that works in practice
Payroll
EOR marketing includes payroll and statutory employment administration. The separate payroll-only service has client approval and client salary payment, so it cannot establish the EOR funding/disbursement process. General terms say the company does not hold/manage client funds or act as payment intermediary; clarify the actual EOR funds route in the engagement letter. No country cutoff or reconciled invoice/payslip example was obtained.

Support & accountability
Support
The platform is presented as a shared dashboard with a designated CPA, payroll team and compliance support. Public terms promise correction of provider-caused service errors without an additional professional fee if reported within30 days of the output; this is a reporting window, not a payroll-resolution SLA. The sampled EOR accounts praise responsiveness and setup, but do not independently establish universal service levels.

Accounting dashboard feedback is retained as adjacent-product evidence.

Davao courts are specified. Website IP provisions do not establish employee work-product assignment; no signed EOR indemnity or counsel/settlement authority was inspected.
