Get answers to common questions

An employer of record or EOR is a company that has a network of entities around the world to compliantly employ and pay workers on behalf of clients. They provide client companies a way to quickly hire workers in new international markets without the cost and risk of establishing an entity in a foreign country.

Although they are similar, the key difference between an EOR and a PEO is the entity requirement and shared legal responsibility for employees.

Traditionally, global PEOs are co-employment arrangements, meaning both the PEO and the client company must have a registered entity in the country where the employees are located — and both organizations share legal responsibility for employees.

With an EOR, there is no shared legal responsibility for employees or entity requirement for client companies. An EOR is the preferred method for companies looking to onboard international employees quickly and compliantly.

If you’re involved with your organization’s global expansion planning, you know there’s a lot to consider. When a lack of speed or local HR expertise are among your organization’s top concerns, an EOR may be the best option for international expansion strategies and achieving your global growth objectives.
