A structured marketing team separates execution, specialist support, strategy and oversight responsibilities.

The structure can be adapted to your marketing channels, campaign volume, team size and management requirements.

Your company manages marketing strategy, priorities, approvals, tools and performance. Global BPO Solution Philippines Inc. manages the agreed employment administration and HR support.

Marketing-assistant compensation depends on experience, role scope, marketing channels, technical skills, working hours and employment terms.

A final employment quote should be based on the specific role rather than a generic salary range.

When reviewing the cost of a marketing assistant, consider:

• Employee salary
• Employer statutory contributions
• 13th-month pay
• Optional HMO, requested by the client and billed separately, and other agreed benefits
• Allowances
• Equipment
• Approved employee-specific expenses
• EOR management fee

Recruitment and candidate selection are included in the fixed US$190 monthly EOR fee and are not charged separately.

The total cost of employing a marketing assistant is more than the base salary alone.

For an EOR arrangement, the monthly employment cost is:

• Employee salary
• Employer statutory contributions
• 13th-month pay allocation
• Agreed benefits and allowances
• Equipment and other applicable employee-specific costs
• US$190 EOR management fee

The EOR management fee adds US$190 per employee per month. Salary-related statutory costs, 13th-month pay, agreed benefits and other employee-specific costs are calculated separately.

Under the standard SOS structure, there is no separate provider onboarding, exit or termination fee, and no SOS FX markup. Employee final pay, statutory separation costs and approved third-party charges remain payable where applicable.

Payroll must be funded in advance. The standard agreement also requires a refundable security deposit for each employee equal to one month of base salary before employment and again annually. Any remaining balance is returned after applicable employment costs, invoices and obligations are settled.

For current employment and payroll requirements, review the latest information from:

• Department of Labor and Employment
• Social Security System
• PhilHealth
• Bureau of Internal Revenue
• Pag-IBIG Fund
