4. What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another business. This arrangement allows companies to access talent in regions where they lack a legal entity while transferring the administrative and legal responsibilities of employment to the EOR. These responsibilities typically include payroll, tax withholding, benefits administration, compliance with local labor laws, and termination support.
In short, an EOR becomes the official employer for tax and legal purposes, while the client company directs the employee’s day-to-day work.
5. Does an EOR have to be physically located in the same state or country as the employees/ companies it supports?
No! An EOR does not need to be physically located in the same state or country as the employees it supports. If you’re expanding into new geographies, navigating cross-border employment laws, or scaling your team fast, using an EOR solution is often faster and more cost-effective than opening a legal entity.
