Question 1

What is an Employer of Record?

Accepted Answer

An Employer of Record is the legal employer of a worker on your behalf. We hold the employment contract, run payroll, withhold local taxes, administer statutory benefits and stay compliant with local labor law. The person works for you day to day — you direct their work, set their priorities and manage their performance.

Question 2

How does your pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Employer of Record is a flat fee based on the value of the contract we carry. The exact rate varies slightly with the seniority of the role and the volume of people you place with us — more people brings the rate down. It is agreed in writing before anyone is onboarded, and there is no entity setup cost, because you are not setting up an entity.

Question 3

How is this different from staff augmentation?

Accepted Answer

Two things. With staff augmentation we also find the person and stay responsible for keeping them engaged over time. With Employer of Record you have already found them, and we only carry the employment — contracts, payroll and compliance. Retention, engagement and career growth stay with you.

Question 4

Do I need to set up a legal entity?

Accepted Answer

No. That is the point of the service. You employ someone in a country where you have no legal presence, without registering a company, opening a local bank account or building payroll infrastructure.

Question 5

Who directs the work?

Accepted Answer

You do — entirely. We are the legal employer, not the manager. The person sits in your team, works your hours, attends your meetings and reports to you. We never direct their work, which is exactly what separates this from an outsourcing arrangement.

Question 6

What if I have not found the person yet?

Accepted Answer

Then Employer of Record on its own is not what you need. Our Recruiting service finds and vets the candidate, and Staff Augmentation covers both the search and the employment. Employer of Record is for when the sourcing is already done.

Question 7

What happens when the employment ends?

Accepted Answer

We handle offboarding to local rules — notice periods, final settlements and any statutory obligations that apply. Termination is where most cross-border employment risk sits, so it is handled by the party that carries the compliance.
