Personio Employer of Record (EOR), powered by Remote, simplifies global hiring. Personio EOR provides organizations with a way to expand internationally without needing to establish local entities.

Note:
Personio EOR is available only in English.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An EOR acts as the legal employer on paper in countries where your organization doesn’t have a local legal entity. Using an EOR, organizations can hire and manage employees in different countries without the need to open their own jurisdiction. The EOR takes on the legal responsibility for your employees and handles HR tasks related to employment, including payroll, tax, benefits, and compliance. This service ensures compliance with local labor laws and reduces costs while providing access to global talent pools.

You need an EOR 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 the time or resources to build out entities.
• You don’t have internal expertise in global employment or local partners to ensure compliance.

How is an EOR different from a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?

While an EOR acts as the legal employer for your employees, a PEO only handles HR tasks like payroll and benefits. With a PEO, your organization remains responsible for compliance in each country, which can add complexity to global operations.
