What is Employer of Record (EOR)?
An employer of record is a third-party provider that is legally responsible for another organization’s employees. It can be located within the same country as the business it employs workers for or in another country with different employment laws....

Recommended
Employer of Record (EOR)
We are the legal employer. Built for hire without entity and full employment compliance.
- Legal employer on record
- No local entity required
- International payroll and HR
- Employment compliance in scope
- You direct day-to-day work
BEST FOR
Global hiring, new markets, remote teams
PEO
Co-employment when you already have an entity in-country.
- Requires your local entity
- Shared employer responsibilities
- You remain in the chain of employment
- Strong fit for established subsidiaries
- Less suited if you have no entity
BEST FOR
Companies with an existing local legal entity
Payroll outsourcing
Run payroll only you stay the legal employer.
- You are still the employer
- Entity typically required
- No full employment shield
- You own compliance decisions
- Ideal with strong in-house HR/legal
BEST FOR
Teams that only need calculation and pay services
Who needs an Employer of Record?
If global hiring, speed, or compliance load is the blocker, EOR is usually the lever.
Scale-ups entering new markets
Entity setup slows revenue and hiring; you need employment compliance from day one.
Land the team first, decide on subsidiaries later without skipping payroll or contracts.
Agencies and MSPs
Client projects need people in many countries; you cannot open an entity per client.
One EOR partner pattern for international payroll and HR across accounts.
Contractor-heavy companies
Roles look like employment; contractor models create compliance and audit exposure.
Convert to Employer of Record employment where it fits clear employer obligations.
HR teams managing a global workforce
Too many vendors, spreadsheets, and country rules for a lean HR function.
Consolidate global hiring, payroll, and lifecycle support behind one EOR programme.
