This article explains how to set up and activate Personio Employer of Record (EOR).

Before you start

• You need to be an Administrator in Personio to activate Personio EOR. You also need the authority to sign legal documents on behalf of your company.
• Personio EOR supports only one EOR Company Manager. This person owns the contract and hires EOR employees. The Personio Administrator who activates Personio EOR becomes the EOR Company Manager.
• When you activate Remote, it uses your Personio subscription and billing information to create a Remote account.
• The integration adds EOR features to your Personio account:
  • EOR-specific time off types.
  • EOR-specific employee roles.
  • EOR-specific approval rules.
