This example highlights a common issues businesses face worldwide—the struggle to hire skilled workers while maintaining compliance with labor laws. Fortunately, companies can overcome these hurdles with Employer of Record (EOR) services, a solution that simplifies hiring, ensures compliance, and expands workforce capabilities in new markets.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party provider that legally employs workers on behalf of a company. The EOR manages everything related to employment, including:

• Hiring & Onboarding – Recruiting and setting up employees in new locations.
• Payroll & Benefits Administration – Handling salary processing, tax deductions, and government-mandated benefits.
• Compliance & Risk Management – Ensuring full adherence to local labor laws.
• HR & Employee Support – Managing leave policies, employee concerns, and termination processes.

By using an EOR, businesses can hire employees in foreign markets without the need to set up a legal entity, reducing both costs and legal risks.

The Benefits of Using an EOR

Faster and Easier Global Expansion

‍
Setting up a legal entity in a foreign country can take months and involve significant costs. An EOR enables businesses to start hiring immediately, eliminating the need for local incorporation.

Full Compliance with Local Labor Laws

Labor laws varies from country to country, and non-compliance can lead to penalties or legal action. An EOR ensures compliance with employment contracts, tax regulations, and employee benefits, reducing legal risks for employers.

Cost Savings and Reduced Administrative Burden

Managing HR, payroll, and compliance in multiple countries can be expensive and time-consuming. EOR services help businesses save money by eliminating the need for in-house legal and HR teams dedicated to foreign employment.
