Post-merger HR and payroll compliance
in Vietnam

You can still bring terra in even after the Social Insurance or tax authority has made contact. terra handles the ongoing process in parallel with fixing the root cause, prepares the explanatory files, and works directly with the authorities to reduce recovered amounts and penalties. In our experience, the earlier you engage, the more room there is to act, because many back-payments are calculated from when the error began, not from when it was found.

A fresh assessment is not required. If a lawyer, internal audit, or due-diligence firm has already identified the gaps, terra takes those findings and moves straight to planning and correction, without repeating the assessment, to save cost and time. If you have no assessment yet, terra does the whole thing, from scoping and assessment through to correction, in a single engagement.

No. terra handles the correction of operational errors, recalculating figures and refiling records with the authorities. Legal liability for issues arising before the acquisition is allocated by the sale and purchase agreement and handled by the parties' lawyers. terra provides the figures and records needed so your lawyers have a basis to negotiate or seek indemnity from the seller where applicable.

Yes. terra acts as the implementation team and coordinates closely with your existing advisors. If a law firm handles the deal legal side, or I-GLOCAL handles tax and accounting advice, terra carries out the operational correction of payroll, Social Insurance, and labor records based on their conclusions. A single executing point keeps multiple providers from passing responsibility between them.

For companies under 100 employees with records ready, a full engagement usually takes 8 to 12 weeks. Larger companies, those with multiple branches, or those with years of outstanding Social Insurance obligations need more time. terra sets a specific timeline per phase after the scoping call, so you know the milestones and cost before starting.
