An employer of record (EOR) is an organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another business internationally. Entering a new market, a foreign company often faces challenges in navigating a complex set of employment regulations. EOR makes it easy for foreign businesses.
In addition to compliance support, an EOR takes full responsibility for managing administrative services such as payroll, taxes, and benefits for your international employees. It means an employer of record provides an all-in-one service package that helps you hire international employees compliantly and get your human resource (HR) services done on your behalf.
In short, an employer of record (EOR) is an organization that legally employs a team of local professionals on behalf of foreign businesses. Thus, EOR acts as the local guardian of employees who work for a foreign company. On the record, it’s an employer of the local employees and handles all legal and administrative responsibilities related to the employees. Simply put, with EOR support, a foreign business can easily hire a team of remote talent in another country and employ them successfully.
