EOR FAQs

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party provider that acts as the legal employer for workers in countries where a business has no registered entity. By managing employment responsibilities and ensuring compliance with local labour laws, an EOR enables recruitment agencies and businesses to expand their international workforce quickly and compliantly.

Expanding internationally can be challenging when local employment laws, payroll requirements, and entity setup vary from country to country. Employer of Record services remove these obstacles by providing a compliant way to hire employees overseas without creating a local business presence. Recruitment agencies can access global talent, support international client requirements, reduce administrative overhead, and scale into new markets with greater speed and confidence.

An Employer of Record (EOR) can be used by recruitment agencies, businesses of all sizes, and any organisations looking to hire employees in countries where they don't have a legal entity.

Whether you're testing a new market, supporting an international client, or recruiting specialist talent overseas, an EOR provides a compliant and efficient way to employ workers without the time and cost of establishing a local presence.

Equity awards may be subject to local tax and employment regulations, so it's important to structure them correctly to ensure compliance.

If your EOR provider has in-house legal and tax expertise, it's worth mentioning that they can advise on country-specific requirements, as the rules vary significantly between jurisdictions.
