How an employer of record in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines works

An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, enabling compliant hiring without establishing a local entity. Because of its in-country presence, the EOR can employ the workers a company needs and “lease” them to that company, taking care to comply with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’s labor laws. As a result, companies can hire employees without a legal entity in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

In addition to hiring, administrative functions such as payroll, employee onboarding, and benefits management also fall within the tasks that full-service EORs can handle. They can manage recruitment and hire and onboard employees in as little as two weeks as well. Altogether, these EOR services significantly reduce the administrative burden for an organization.
