FAQs
Is it hard to switch EOR providers?
Switching is a real project, not a minor update. It involves ending your current employment contracts and onboarding your team with a new provider. But with an experienced migration partner and a clear plan, it can be a structured, well-managed process rather than a disruptive one.
How long does an EOR migration take?
Most EOR migrations take 4 to 12 weeks, but ultimately this depends on your employee count, the number of countries involved, and the complexity of your current setup.
What makes Oyster different from other EOR providers?
Oyster pairs a modern global employment platform with in-house HR and legal experts who manage your migration directly, combined with transparent pricing.
