What is an EOR?
An employer of record (EOR), sometimes known as a professional employer organisation (PEO) or Global Employment Outsourcing (GEO), is an organisation that can hire and pay employees on behalf of another business, nationally or internationally. They will be responsible for all HR tasks, such as immigration, payroll and employment, ensuring compliance and efficiency with no need for a local entity to be set up.
Instructing an EOR is the smart choice when it comes to hiring overseas. Employment regulations vary drastically from one country to another, so our role as the EOR service provider is to take on the burden of everything to do with officially employing someone — from tax and payroll to compliance with local and national laws.
On paper, we’ll act as the primary employer of your employee, but you’ll still be completely in charge of their day-to-day deliverables. In short, they’ll act like any other employee — just with fewer complexities for you to worry about!

What does a global employer of record do?
Global expansion is a goal for many organisations that want to tap into new markets to unlock new opportunities. However, operating in a new country or territory can throw up lots of new challenges, some of which can limit operational success, with knowledge on hiring and managing payroll needed, before operations can begin.
This is where a global employer of record service can be a highly advantageous solution. A global EOR is a third party organisation contracted to manage employee services on behalf of the organisation operating in a foreign country. This includes dealing with payroll, any taxes, employee benefits, insurance and healthcare coverage, as well as any visa or sponsorship requirements for that particular territory. Using a global employer of record means organisations can focus on their expansion, leaving managing payroll and HR services to a local expert.
