Employer of record services FAQs

What is an employer of record (EOR)?

An employer of record offers companies an efficient method for hiring and onboarding new employees in a new country without needing to establish a separate legal entity.

How will a global EOR service help my business?

Our EOR service allows businesses to expand globally with tailored, local contracts. You will have ongoing HR support for employees overseas, and our EOR service manages all compliance aspects, from payroll to statutory obligations, for a hassle-free experience.

How is a Employer of Record different from a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?

An Employer of Record service provider becomes the legal employer for your overseas staff, handling all local employment tasks. A Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) on the other hand, co-employs your staff but leaves primary employer responsibilities with you. Given our expertise in both areas, you can reach out to us to find the best solution for your business.

Can Employment Hero help provide employee benefits for international employees?

Yes, our EOR service helps administer employee benefits, ensuring that employees are well taken care of and that benefits are managed in line with local standards and regulations.

Can we transition from using an EOR to establishing our own legal entity later on?

Certainly, starting with an EOR is often a strategic step for businesses exploring new markets. Once you decide to set up your own legal entity, we’re here to guide you through the process.

Can an EOR support operations in multiple countries at once?

Absolutely, our international EOR services provide global coverage and can support operations in multiple countries on behalf of your business. For a complete list of supported countries, please reach out to our team.

What is EOR engagement?

EOR engagement involves partnering with an Employer of Record service to hire employees globally without needing to set up a local entity. This approach simplifies international hiring and ensures compliance with local laws and regulations.

What is the EOR platform?

An EOR platform allows you to hire employees around the world without the need to establish a local entity in each country. This platform handles all the administrative and legal requirements, making global expansion easier and more cost-effective.

Can you onboard contractors through an EOR?

Yes, you can onboard contractors through an EOR. The Employer of Record service can manage the legal and compliance aspects of contracting in different countries, making it simple for businesses to hire and onboard contractors globally.
