Get Started

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is an entity that assumes full legal responsibility for employing workers on behalf of another business.

For example, with Rise acting as your legal employer, our EOR service manages:

Compliance

Payroll

Taxes

Benefits

This frees your business from the complexities of local employment laws, making it easier for global employer companies like yours to hire employees in different countries within global markets without establishing a legal entity in each location.

EORs take on comprehensive employer responsibilities, including creating compliant employment contracts, ensuring adherence to local labor laws, and managing all aspects of employment such as payroll processing and benefits administration.

EORs manage these essential tasks, allowing businesses to concentrate on their core operations and strategic growth instead of dealing with HR and compliance complexities.

How Does an Employer of Record Work?

An Employer of Record works by managing employment-related responsibilities such as payroll and tax compliance, while the client company retains control over the day-to-day operations of its employees.

This means that the EOR, such as Rise, handles all of the legal and HR responsibilities, ensuring that all employment tasks are performed in compliance with local labor laws.

When a business like yours decides to hire employees overseas, the EOR steps in to handle everything from payroll processing to employee benefits and legal responsibilities, including terminations.

This allows businesses to hire employees in different countries without the need to set up a legal entity, making the process of global expansion much smoother and more efficient.

Here's everything you have to do if you don't use Rise EOR:

01

Navigating complex registration processes
Securing permits
Complying with local laws and tax regulations

Payroll processing
Tax filings
Benefits administration, all while complying with local employment laws

03

When to Consider an EOR

There are several scenarios where using an EOR can be particularly beneficial for your business. For example, when your company faces talent shortages and increased competition, it can be challenging to hire effectively.

An EOR like Rise EOR allows businesses to quickly hire local talent before setting up a legal entity, facilitating rapid market entry and helping address skill shortages.

This is especially useful for businesses like yours looking to expand into new markets without significant upfront costs.

Additionally, Rise EOR can help organizations mitigate employment risks associated with hiring contingent workers and managing compliance with local labor laws.

Companies can benefit from the flexibility and efficiency that EORs offer, allowing them to focus on strategic growth and market expansion.

By leveraging EOR services, businesses can enhance their talent acquisition process and ensure compliance with local regulations regardless of location.
