What is an Employer of Record?

Employer of Record (EOR) refers to services provided by international employment firms that legally employ workers on behalf of a client company.

These firms hold the legal responsibility for labour compliance, which is crucial when your organisation operates in a country without a formal local entity. An EOR can assist with various tasks, including:

  • Payroll and tax administration
  • Employee benefits
  • Foreign exchange and in-country money movement
  • Employment contracts
  • Insurance
  • Local laws
  • Immigration or visa/work permit processing

How can an Employer of Record help my business?

For companies that want to stretch their corporate presence beyond their home country, access richer talent pools, and tap into new revenue outlets, global expansion is often the way to go.

However, entering foreign countries can be a tricky process. This is why a growing number of businesses opt to work with an EOR.

EOR services are designed to simplify the international expansion journey and help you navigate various administrative HR tasks when:

  • Performing work in a country where your company may not be registered
  • Setting up a new legal entity
  • Understanding labour laws and tax implications in-country

Hire and manage remote teams with an Employer of Record

 
The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly changed the way the world embraces remote working.
 
For businesses managing geographically dispersed international teams, partnering with an Employer of Record (EOR) can greatly reduce administrative burdens, regardless of your business size.
 
An EOR enables companies to expand their international talent acquisition efforts without needing to establish a foreign entity. This allows you to hire the best candidates from anywhere in the world, free from geographic restrictions.
 
By bypassing the time-consuming process of international business incorporation, an EOR can onboard your international hires and have them ready to work within days.
 
Additionally, an EOR helps support your remote employees, ensuring a seamless employee experience.
 
Some of the remote working challenges an EOR can solve include:
  • Advising on notice periods and contracts
  • Assisting with legal documentation and tax filings
  • Providing in-country worker support

What are the key benefits of enlisting an Employer of Record?

1. Quickly enter new markets

By working with an internationally diverse EOR company, you can quickly enter new markets without the need for establishing local entities.

Operating in multiple countries can be overwhelming for growing organisations. Navigating compliance, communicating with foreign employees, tax implications, and frequent immigration changes reduce your ability to focus on long-term talent strategy.

Partnering with a supplier with a detailed understanding of compliance requirements can help you concentrate on your company's growth and achieving your core business goals such as; market research, talent acquisition, customer service, and maintaining profitability.

2. Cost-effective and streamlined HR

Employment and compliance challenges are multiplied when your costs escalate from managing multiple suppliers or recruiting HR specialists.

There is a high cost associated with opening an entity in-country. It often makes more sense to leverage another company’s footprint to ease financial burdens.

Hiring an EOR enables you to work with a single entity while removing the need to maintain an expensive in-house team.

3. Improved productivity and communication

An Employer of Record organisation can provide one contact for all inquiries.

This increases efficiency and ensures issues are dealt with quickly while reducing the need to engage multiple stakeholders, freeing up time to focus on your core business functions.

4. Remain compliant, reduce risk

It is important that a workforce is not only mobilised quickly but legally. The need to stay on top of legislation is imperative to the success of any global company.

A employer of record specialist with in-depth local knowledge ensures your workforce is compliantly managed while reducing the risk of noncompliance and any operational errors. 

Wherever in the world, you choose to operate your business entity.

5. Accurate and reliable payroll management

Maintaining in-house finance and international payroll teams can be expensive and difficult for clients without a permanent base in-country.

Paired with changing compliance requirements and limited legal knowledge, managing payroll is often one of the biggest challenges of global expansion. 

An EOR company can manage local/national income tax and social security payments on behalf of local and international employees. They can also make sure that this money is deducted from their salaries and paid directly to the tax authorities.
