Is an EOR arrangement legal in Armenia?

An Armenian hire needs a valid employment relationship under the Labour Code, not simply an overseas services invoice. The Code governs the employer, employment contract and grounds for fixed-term employment. A provider offering payroll must explain which Armenian entity employs the person and how the actual arrangement fits those rules.

For an ongoing role, examine the basis for any fixed term and agree who handles local employment duties.
