Three benefits of using Oyster's solution
Meet compliance from end to end
PEOs help with HR outsourcing and support companies with payroll processing, tax filing, benefits administration, and health insurance. As an employer of record, Oyster offers these services and entirely takes on the hiring, onboarding, and offboarding process.
Hire without setting up business entities
PEOs come with some restrictions. You must be established in every jurisdiction in which you’re using a PEO and enter a co-employment agreement. With a global employment platform like Oyster, you don’t need to set up entities or stress about liability.
Scale your team, not your tech stack
If your team spans many countries, you’ll need multiple PEOs, which is hard to manage and track. Plus, it leads to inconsistent employee experiences. With Oyster, you can manage talent from 180+ countries from one centralized platform.
FAQs
What is a PEO or professional employer organization?
A PEO, or professional employer organization, is a human resources outsourcing entity that partners with employers to co-employ and manage staff. In the co-employment model, the PEO and the employer share liability for the workers.
If you’re wondering how to choose the right PEO for your company, take a look at this list of questions.
What’s the difference between a PEO and EOR?
PEOs are used for HR outsourcing, such as payroll processing and benefits administration, when you hire in multiple states or countries. However, you must have entities in these jurisdictions and you remain liable for the employees.
An EOR, or employer of record, becomes the full legal employer of your worker. An EOR handles all these HR functions and more—hiring and employment contracts, handling day-to-day HR tasks, managing business and insurance requirements.
