What is an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is an organization that helps companies expand internationally by employing and paying employees on behalf of another company. EORs assume the responsibility for all formal employment tasks, including payroll processes and compliance documentation.

Simply put, using an Employer of Record (EOR) allows companies to legally and efficiently employ employees in other countries without having to set up a local entity or risk violating local employment laws.

RemoFirst enables me to work remotely and stay compliant in my home country. It’s also very helpful for submitting and managing expenses, making it a great addition to my primary HR platform with its admin features.

BetVictor

We had an entity that was located in a different country that wanted to hire members in the US without affecting the tax status, having RemoFirst help out by being the EOR was the best solution. The setup of the EOR was very easy and we had a dedicated account manger the entire time. Having a dedicated account manager made resolving issues simpler than it would have been otherwise. Nice touch!

What makes RemoFirst more affordable?

We’ve built our Employer of Record model by focusing on transparency, efficiency, and long-term local partnerships.

Instead of inflating prices or layering on hidden fees, we keep your costs low by:

Partnering with vetted and exclusive local experts who’ve managed $30B+ in global payroll and have 20+ years of experience.

Simplifying processes with our in-house tech platform, without skipping on compliance.

Offering a flat, predictable monthly rate with no minimum contract terms or number of employees.

You still get full compliance coverage, 185+ country support, a dedicated account manager, and access to expert resources on regulations, wages, benefits, and more.

What are the benefits of our local partner model for global hiring?

Our partners aren’t random vendors, they’re seasoned payroll and compliance experts, just like our team. They’ve encountered everything from complex labor laws to niche tax regulations and have the expertise to handle it all.

What this means for you:

You get faster real-time insight and accuracy on employment laws, taxes, and benefits from experts in the countries you're hiring talent in.

We centralize everything through one platform and one point of contact, so your process never feels fragmented.

By cutting unnecessary overhead, we can offer the most cost-effective global EOR services available, without the hidden fees or high markups common with other providers.

With RemoFirst, local partnerships doesn’t mean complexity, it means global confidence.

How does RemoFirst pay employees as an EOR?

Global employees' hours, time off, holidays, bonuses, and commissions are automatically calculated into the payroll via our platform.

RemoFirst invoices our clients (the employers) in U.S. Dollars (USD), Euros (EUR), British Pounds (GBP), Canadian Dollars (CAD), Australian Dollars (AUD), New Zealand Dollars (NZD), Singapore Dollars (SGD), or Israeli New Shekels (ILS).

You can summarize your entire global team's payroll to aggregate them into one payment (instead of many individual payments).

How does an EOR handle liability and compliance?

Worker misclassification is a serious legal violation that can lead to costly penalties, including hefty fines and even jail time. RemoFirst helps you avoid expensive compliance mistakes by ensuring every hire is set up according to local labor laws, reducing the risk of fines and lawsuits down the line.

Our team of HR and legal experts keeps you compliant and ahead of changing regulations worldwide by keeping up to date on local laws in every country we serve.

How are clients supported?

Each client of RemoFirst receives a dedicated account manager, and our customer support is available 24/5 for hiring managers as well as global employees.

Need help with your employees benefits, visas, or anything else related to international employment? You can use our platform's embedded chat function to quickly discuss your HR needs with our team.

Frequently ask questions

What is an Employer of Record (EOR), and how is it different from hiring contractors or using a payroll provider?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on your behalf, enabling you to hire full-time team members in other countries without setting up a legal entity.

The EOR takes on the legal responsibility for employment, including payroll, tax filings, benefits, compliance with local labor laws, and employment contracts.

‍Here’s how an EOR compares:

Versus hiring contractors: Contractors are self-employed and aren’t entitled to the same protections or benefits as employees. Misclassifying full-time workers as contractors can lead to serious legal and tax risks. An EOR helps you avoid this by compliantly employing workers as full-time employees, with the appropriate protections and benefits based on local laws.
‍Versus using a payroll provider: Payroll providers process payments and tax filings but don’t assume legal responsibility as the employer. You still need to set up a local legal entity and manage compliance yourself. An EOR does both — handling payroll and acting as the legal employer.

Using an EOR like RemoFirst is the simplest way to hire globally without legal headaches — giving you the freedom to grow your team anywhere while staying compliant.

What’s included in RemoFirst’s EOR service? And what’s available as an add-on?

Who is the legal employer and what responsibilities does my company retain?

RemoFirst acts as the legal Employer of Record for your international employees. That means we take on responsibilities like payroll, taxes, benefits, employment contracts, and compliance with local labor laws.

Your company still manages the day-to-day relationship with your team like setting their roles, responsibilities, working hours, and performance expectations. You stay in control of your team; we handle the legal complexity.

What compliance and legal risks does RemoFirst handle for us?

RemoFirst helps protect your business from the most common global employment risks, including:

Misclassification of employees vs. contractors
Non-compliance with local labor laws (contracts, termination rules, working hours, etc.)
Incorrect payroll tax filings or missed contributions
Benefits and leave entitlements not being met
IP and confidentiality protection gaps

Our local partners and legal experts stay on top of evolving regulations in 185+ countries so you don’t have to.

How does RemoFirst handle terminations or offboarding internationally?

Offboarding can be complex, especially in countries with strict labor protections. RemoFirst provides guidance on compliant offboarding, including notice periods, severance, and documentation based on local law.

We’ll help you navigate each step, reduce legal exposure, and ensure the process is handled respectfully and fairly for the employee.

Can I convert a contractor to a full-time employee using RemoFirst?

Yes, and it’s a common use case. RemoFirst makes it easy to convert international contractors into full-time employees while maintaining compliance with local laws.

We’ll draft a localized employment contract, enroll them in payroll and benefits, and ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your team.

Do I need to set up a local entity or register my business in the countries where I hire?

No, that’s the beauty of using an Employer of Record. RemoFirst hires your international team through our existing local entities or exclusive partners, so you don’t need to set up your own legal presence.

You get the speed and flexibility to hire globally, without the cost and complexity of registering in each country.
