In Pakistan, employment and social-security compliance depends on the applicable jurisdiction and establishment. The provincial social-security framework can include people employed through another person. Using an intermediary therefore does not automatically remove employment-related obligations.
Identify the work location, employer and applicable provincial registrations; assess the staffing structure separately rather than treating social-security registration as an EOR licence.

Applies to: Pakistan general work-visa applications; approval and EOR sponsorship eligibility are not automatic

Know the whole bill
The service fee is one line in the budget. Use amounts from a local quote to separate monthly spending from deposits and other upfront cash.
First-year spending = 12 × monthly spending + one-off fees. The refundable deposit is shown only in upfront cash. This assumes constant monthly costs for 12 months and excludes anything not entered, including future exit charges.
