Employer of record services: Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between international PEO and EOR services?
EOR and global PEO services are the same, with different terms used in various countries. Both mean that we employ your staff through the PeoplePay in-country entity and we have legal responsibility for them, although a global payroll solution may be the most cost-effective fit for some businesses. Speak with our experts, who can help you choose.
What’s the difference between global payroll and EOR / PEO?
The main difference lies in who holds legal responsibility. With global payroll, your company is the legal employer. In contrast, with EOR / PEO, PeoplePay assumes that role, allowing you to focus on your team’s day-to-day operations while we handle compliance and payroll.
How does an EOR help with global compliance?
A PeoplePay EOR / PEO simplifies compliance by handling local employment laws, tax requirements and other regulatory matters for you, ensuring your business operates within the law across regions.
Do I need a global EOR to hire in international markets?
If you don’t have a local legal entity, an EOR / PEO can be essential. Partnering with us, you can hire in new markets quickly, without setting up a formal business presence, making global expansion easier.
Why is EOR / PEO more expensive than global payroll?
Employer of record services often come with a higher price tag compared to global payroll due to the added responsibilities we take on. As the EOR / PEO, we assume the legal obligations and liabilities for your employees, which adds an additional layer of risk. This responsibility requires more administrative effort on our part to ensure compliance and smooth operations.
