FAQs
How does a full-service EOR benefit enterprises?
A full-service EOR enables enterprises to hire and manage employees globally without establishing local entities. By centralizing employment, payroll, benefits, and compliance under one operating model, enterprises reduce administrative overhead, limit compliance risk, and gain consistent visibility across regions while maintaining consistent internal HR and finance processes.
How does an EOR support a standardized expansion strategy?
An EOR supports standardization by enabling enterprises to:
-
Hire immediately and test new markets
-
Gain regulatory approval
-
Streamline mergers and acquisitions
-
Run payroll compliantly on a global scale
-
Reduce compliance risk
What does the transition to a full-service EOR entail?
Transitioning to a full-service EOR typically involves consolidating employment responsibilities—such as payroll processing, statutory benefits, and compliance—under a single provider. Enterprises integrate the EOR with existing HRIS and finance systems, align internal stakeholders, and migrate employees or new hires in phases to ensure continuity and minimal disruption.
