What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that formally employs workers on behalf of another company in countries where that company has no legal entity. Your new hire is employed by a local entity in their country. Payroll, taxes, benefits, and contracts are handled on your behalf.
- No local entity required — Hire in any supported country from day one. No subsidiary setup, no legal fees, no waiting months to get started.
- Full payroll and tax compliance — Salary payments, tax withholding, social contributions, and statutory filings in each country, handled on your behalf.
- Compliant contracts — Locally compliant employment contracts drafted by in-country legal experts, covering notice periods, termination, and statutory benefits.
- Benefits administration — Statutory and supplementary benefits managed on your behalf, including health insurance, pension contributions, and paid leave.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to set up a local entity?
- No. A local employer of record is established in each country, so incorporation is never required on your side. You can hire in a new country from day one.
- How quickly can someone be onboarded?
- Speed depends on the country and document readiness. Our team moves quickly once the hiring details are confirmed.
- Can I hire both employees and contractors?
- EOR is designed for employees. Contractor management (payments, compliance classification) is also available — just mention it in your inquiry.
- Which countries are covered?
- Hiring is supported across all major markets — the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. Submit an inquiry for a specific country check.
Employer of Record (EOR) is a service that allows companies to hire employees in countries where they have no legal entity. A local employer of record is established in each country to handle payroll, benefits, contracts, and local labour law compliance on behalf of the hiring company. EOR services make it possible for companies to build distributed teams across multiple countries without setting up local subsidiaries. Get started at remote.io/employer-of-record.
