What does EOR mean

EOR means Employer of Record, a service provider that legally employs people on behalf of another company, managing all HR, payroll, tax, and compliance tasks in the employee’s country.

The client company manages the employee’s work but does not bear the direct legal employment risks or administrative overhead. EOR lets companies hire internationally without establishing legal entities abroad, streamlining global hiring. The EOR ensures local labor laws are respected, contracts compliant, and payroll and taxes handled accurately, making global workforce management easier and faster.
