What Is EOR?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that acts as the legal employer on behalf of another company.

The EOR takes on responsibilities including payroll, tax filing, benefits administration, and compliance with local labor laws. This allows companies to hire employees in countries where they lack a registered entity or local expertise. The client company controls day-to-day work, but the EOR handles legal employment. This simplifies when hiring globally by reducing compliance risks and administrative burdens, enabling rapid access to international talent without setting up foreign branches. It’s ideal for companies testing new markets, managing distributed teams, or expanding internationally without permanent local structures.
