Husys Onboarding Time
Countries Covered
Gaming and VFX studios hire across Poland, India, Canada, Brazil, and Southeast Asia. The moment you try to bring them on properly, you hit compliance, entity setup, and payroll complexity that was never built for production timelines.
Each country has different labor, tax, and termination requirements. What works in one market may not be compliant in another.
Studios often manage multiple currencies, pay cycles, deductions, and statutory contributions across jurisdictions.
Private health coverage, provident fund, and 13th-month pay are examples of country-specific benefit expectations.
Production schedules often require key artists and engineers to start within days after accepting an offer.
Long-term contractor engagement on core work can trigger back taxes, penalties, and mandatory benefits in some jurisdictions.
IP assignment and confidentiality clauses need to be enforceable under the employee’s local law, not just the studio’s home country.
Global gaming leaders have already built talent footprints across India’s leading tech hubs. Access the same talent through Husys without setting up a local entity.

A US VFX studio needed compositors in India, a pipeline TD in Poland, and a rendering engineer in Canada — all for a feature film with a locked delivery window. Setting up entities in three countries would take 18 months and cost $150,000+ before a single person was hired.
What Husys Did
Activated EOR employment across all three countries locally compliant contracts with IP assignment and NDA, multi-currency payroll from day one. All 14 hires onboarded within a single production sprint with zero entity registration.
"We were 6 weeks from principal delivery and still trying to figure out how to legally hire our pipeline TD in Warsaw. Husys had contracts in front of him inside 24 hours. That saved the project."

India’s payroll isn’t a single system. It’s a layered framework of central laws, state-level rules, and employer obligations all of which apply the moment you hire your first employee.
12% of basic salary contributed by employer + 12% by employee, every month. Registered with EPFO. Non-compliance carries penalties and prosecution.
Mandatory health and disability cover for employees earning below ₹21,000/month. Employer contributes 3.25%, employee contributes 0.75%.
State-level tax — rates and slabs vary across all 28 states and 8 union territories. Requires separate registration in each state where employees are located.
Income tax withheld at source every month based on employee's declared investments and salary slab. Filed quarterly with the Income Tax Department.
Statutory lump-sum payment due after 5 years of continuous service. Calculated at 15 days' salary per year of service. Must be provisioned from day one.
Monthly. Salary must be credited before the 7th of the following month for most categories of employees under the Payment of Wages Act.

An EOR becomes the legal employer of your workers in a given country handling contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, tax filings, and labor law compliance. Husys absorbs the legal employer liability so your studio retains full creative and operational control.
Entity setup takes 6–12 months and costs $50,000+ per country before you make a single hire. For studios testing a talent market or hiring across multiple countries, EOR is faster, cheaper, and lower risk. Entity setup only makes sense with large, permanent headcount in a single market.
No. For ongoing, core-production work character modeling, compositing, engine development contractors carry serious misclassification risk. When reclassified, the liability includes back taxes, penalties, and mandatory benefits applied retroactively. EOR eliminates that exposure from day one.
Husys completes onboarding within 8 working hours of receiving complete documentation after contract signature. For studios competing for specialized talent pipeline TDs, rendering engineers, lead compositors this speed advantage is operationally critical.
Yes. Husys issues IP assignment clauses in every contract, drafted to be enforceable under the local law of the employee's country. All work product game assets, pipelines, tooling, source code belongs to your studio
Yes exactly the model Husys is built for. Husys charges $99/employee/month with no setup fees, no termination fees, and no lock-ins. Scale up for production, scale down after delivery — without legal overhead in any market.
If your studio is directly generating revenue or selling in a country not just employing people you likely need a registered entity. Husys will tell you this honestly in the first conversation.
