What is the Definition of Employer of Record Services?

Employer of record services refer to specialized providers that legally employ workers for your company in various locations. The EOR handles all official employment duties, such as drafting and managing contracts, processing payroll, administering benefits, ensuring tax and statutory compliance, and providing HR support. By outsourcing these functions, companies maintain operational control over their teams’ work while ensuring all local labor laws and administrative requirements are met. EOR services are crucial for businesses seeking to operate globally without navigating complex local legal structures.

Work From Anywhere’s services differ in that we act as a decision making tool before you engage with an EOR, so that you can first understand what the most suitable operating model is for you to use e.g. legal entity, contractor or EOR. We also help assess the compliance risks of allowing your staff to temporarily work remotely from another country.
