Frequently Asked Questions

An employer of record acts as the employer on paper in countries where you don’t have legal entities. We can take on the legal responsibility for your employees and handle HR tasks related to employment including payroll, tax, benefits and compliance. Learn more with our in-depth guide.

You need an Employer of Record service if:

  • You want to hire an employee in a country where you don’t currently have a legal entity.

  • You need to expand into new countries quickly and don’t have months to build out entities.

  • You don’t have internal expertise in global employment or local partners to ensure compliance.

Still unsure? Find out more about when to use an Employer of Record for your business.

Many Employer of Record service providers rely on third parties in the countries where they operate. Check whether your vendor uses any third-party intermediaries, which can cause delays, inconsistencies, and compliance risks.

Remote owns legal entities in every country of operation and does not rely on third parties, which ensures control, transparency, flexibility, and accuracy for everything from benefits to payroll and support.

An Employer of Record acts as the employer on paper for your employees in countries where you do not have entities. A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) handles many HR tasks, such as managing payroll and benefits, but the employer is still responsible for managing compliance in each country. To learn more, check out our guide: Does your business need an EOR or a PEO?
