An employer of record (EOR) is a global employment services provider that helps you employ people legally in other countries. Your EOR handles payroll, benefits, taxes, stock options, and local compliance, freeing you to focus on your team.

Businesses rely on employers of record to help them hire employees in multiple countries. With an EOR, a company can expand operations into another country without having to set up a local entity, which can be expensive and take months or longer to accomplish. Working with an EOR allows businesses big and small to employ and pay workers in other countries quickly and affordably.

An employer of record can perform a number of HR and legal functions, including:

• Allow businesses to hire full-time workers in other countries legally
• Run payroll for employees in other countries
• Handle benefits administration for global workers
• Manage international contractors
• Distribute employee stock options across national borders
