How Deel EOR helps your business
-No entity. Ever
Deel maintains its own legal infrastructure in every country. You hire in Poland, Brazil, or Vietnam without spending 3–6 months setting up a local subsidiary.
-Compliance isn't outsourced
Most EOR providers relay work through third-party local partners. Deel's 2,000+ in-house legal experts own the compliance — creating faster timelines and fewer gaps.
-Total cost is visible before you commit
Enter country, salary, and start date. Deel shows full employer cost upfront. No surprise invoices after the contract is signed.
-Offboarding is handled correctly
Notice periods, severance, and final pay vary dramatically by country. Deel manages the full termination process so your company isn't exposed.

FAQs
What is an Employer of Record and when do I actually need one?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a company that becomes the legal employer of your workers in a given country on your behalf. You need one when you want to hire someone in a country where you don't have — and don't want to set up — a local legal entity. Deel acts as the EOR in 130+ countries, handling all legal, compliance, payroll, and HR responsibilities while you direct the day-to-day work.
Is Deel the legal employer, or is my company?
Deel is the legal employer of record. Your company controls the work — you set the job scope, manage performance, and decide when to end the engagement. Deel handles all legal obligations: employment contracts under local law, payroll, benefits, tax filing, and termination processes.
Do I need to set up a local entity to use Deel EOR?
No. That's the point of EOR. Deel already has its own legal entities in 130+ countries. You hire through Deel's entity — no subsidiary setup required, no months-long legal process, no ongoing entity maintenance costs.
Should I hire through EOR or classify this person as a contractor?
It depends on the nature of the work and the relationship. If the person works exclusively for you, has set hours, and behaves like an employee — EOR is usually the safer, more compliant choice. Deel's classification assessment tool can help you evaluate the right model for each hire.
Who owns the IP my employee creates?
Your company does. All Deel EOR contracts include automatic IP assignment clauses that transfer work product ownership to your company. You don't need to engage a separate lawyer to add this — it's built into every contract.
How does termination work — who handles severance and notice?
Deel manages the full termination process, including calculating notice periods and severance under local law, managing final pay, and closing the employment relationship compliantly. Severance rules vary significantly by country — this is one of the biggest risks of getting EOR wrong, and one of Deel's clearest strengths.
How is Deel different from Remote or Velocity Global?
The key difference is infrastructure. Deel operates its own wholly-owned legal entities in every market — not a network of third-party local partners. This gives Deel faster onboarding, more consistent compliance, and no third-party delays. Deel is also rated #1 on G2 with 5,800+ reviews, and processes $20B+ in compliant global payroll annually.
