Frequently asked questions
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An EOR is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on your behalf in countries where you do not have a legal entity. The EOR handles payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance while you manage the day-to-day work.
When should I use an EOR vs setting up a local entity?
Use an EOR for 1-15 employees or when testing a new market. Set up a local entity when you have 15+ employees in a country and plan to stay long-term — the per-employee cost is lower without EOR fees.
What does an EOR typically cost?
Most EOR providers charge $400-700/month per employee, plus the employee's salary, local taxes, and mandatory benefits. Total employer cost is typically 25-50% above the base salary depending on the country.
What risks does an EOR mitigate?
EORs eliminate the risk of permanent establishment, misclassification (contractor vs employee), local labor law violations, incorrect tax filings, and non-compliant terminations. These risks can carry severe penalties.
