Hire in Marshall Islands,
compliantly,
without the complexity.

Expanding to Marshall Islands

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) provides a strategic Pacific location with a fluent English-speaking workforce operating within a USD financial environment, widely known for maritime services, logistics, and marine research.

An EOR setup allows foreign organizations to hire local specialists smoothly without foreign business entity registration or handling state tax filings directly.

Employment Regulations in Marshall Islands

Standard working hours are set at 40 hours per week (8 hours per day). Probationary periods typically last from 30 to 90 days. Employment contracts follow common law standards, requiring fair notice or pay in lieu for contract terminations without cause.

Taxation and Employee Benefits

Employers contribute 5% of gross wages into the RMI Social Security System. Mandatory benefits include statutory annual vacation leave (typically 10 to 13 days), paid public holidays, and basic sick leave cover.

Marshallese Payroll Administration

Payroll is executed bi-weekly or monthly in USD. Employers calculate Income Tax (Gross Revenue / Wages Tax) and submit social security contributions quarterly to the Marshall Islands Social Security Administration (MISSA).

Intellectual Property and Data Security

Intellectual property rights for work products created by employees during employment duties vest directly in the employer under common law principles and domestic statutes.
