FAQs
What is an employer of record or EOR service?
An employer of record (EOR) is an entity that legally employs workers on behalf of another business. An EOR takes full responsibility for all aspects of employment, including compliance, payroll, taxes, and benefits
EOR services are not the same as PEOs, GEOs, GPEOs, or AORs. They are also not staffing agencies.
Is an employer of record an entity alternative?
Yes, employers of record are an entity alternative! Instead of setting up your own legal business entities to hire workers in new countries, you can bring talent aboard through an EOR.
EOR vs. own international entity setup—which is better?
There are pros and cons to both! We recommend watching this free on-demand webinar to learn more about EORs vs. an international entity setup.
