Hire globally, compliantly & with confidence

An Employer of Record is a third-party organisation that legally employs your workers in countries where you do not have a local entity. While you continue to manage the person’s work, responsibilities, and performance, the EOR takes care of the legal employment infrastructure, including compliant contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits administration, and offboarding obligations.

An EOR becomes the legal employer on paper, which means you do not need to establish a local entity. A PEO, in contrast, requires a joint-employment relationship and is only available in countries where you already have an entity. In short, if you want to hire globally without creating subsidiaries, an EOR is the correct model.

An EOR manages the legal, administrative, and compliance aspects of employing people abroad. This includes preparing locally compliant employment contracts, ensuring proper worker classification, managing probation periods, collecting necessary documents, and protecting intellectual property rights.

They run global payroll by calculating pay based on local tax rules, processing bonuses, handling currency conversions, and issuing payslips in the correct format.

An EOR also administers statutory and supplementary employee benefits, manages onboarding and day-to-day HR processes, oversees time-off and local policies, and handles offboarding procedures, documentation, and compliance.

Their support is especially important during terminations, which are widely recognised as the most complex part of global employment.

Yes, you maintain full managerial control. The EOR only handles the legal employment layer.

You continue to decide what the employee works on, how they perform their role, and how they integrate into your team. The employment arrangement is essentially a split: the EOR manages compliance, payroll, and statutory obligations, and you manage the work itself.
