The Advantages of EOR Services

When you use our EOR services, we become the registered employer of your workers. As the Employer of Record, we will provide a registered business entity for purposes of local employment law. You can be confident that your employment policies are all in line with local laws without having to become an expert on those laws yourself. This frees you from having to solve every problem personally, so you can focus on your business instead.

Our EOR services ensure your payroll is compliant with local laws, arrange all necessary visas and work permits, and advise you on labor laws of all kinds in your target country. We can ensure you don’t make any mistakes regarding worker protections, employment agreements, termination rules, notice periods, severance pay, and other aspects of labor law. Also,we act as a link between your employees and the local government when it’s needed.

Does this mean we’ll be managing your local employees? No! We don’t have any supervisory or management authority – these will always remain with you.  Barona will simply act as an intermediary between your company and the employees to make sure that everything goes by the book and according to your plans.

Frequently asked questions about Employer of Record Services

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that takes on the legal responsibilities of employment, such as tax compliance, payroll, benefits, and insurance, on behalf of another company. By hiring an EOR, businesses can navigate complex labor laws, particularly when expanding into international markets, more easily.

An Employer of Record works by managing employment-related tasks and responsibilities for a company. They typically handle the administrative side of employment, such as running payroll, ensuring tax compliance, handling workers’ compensation, benefits administration, and managing HR issues. This allows the company to focus on its core business functions.

The cost of an Employer of Record can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the number of employees, the complexity of the employment situation, the location of the workforce, and the specific services required. For our prices, send us a message and we can give you a detailed quite.

Yes, using an Employer of Record is entirely legal. EORs are a well-established solution for businesses looking to expand their operations, especially in international markets, without having to navigate complex employment laws themselves.

A company might choose to use an Employer of Record to ease the burden of employment-related responsibilities. This allows the company to focus on its core business operations. Additionally, using an EOR can be an efficient way to expand into new markets, as the EOR will be familiar with the local labor laws and practices.

An employer is an entity that hires workers directly and is responsible for complying with all employment-related laws and regulations. An Employer of Record, on the other hand, is a third-party service that assumes these employment responsibilities on behalf of a company. While the company still directs the employees’ day-to-day activities, the EOR handles administrative and legal employment tasks.

An Employer of Record and a Professional Employer Organization both provide employment services to businesses, but they differ in scope and function. A PEO enters into a co-employment relationship with your company, sharing employment responsibilities, whereas an EOR becomes the legal employer of your staff for tax purposes and compliance. Companies typically use EORs when they want to expand internationally or when they need to hire employees without setting up a legal entity in a new location.
