How Does an Employer of Record Work?

They handle payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR administration, allowing companies to focus on their core business.

Is a PEO and an Employer of Record the Same Thing?
No. A more appropriate description would be that an Employer of Record is a specific solution provided by a PEO. A PEO typically provides recruitment, payroll outsourcing, global mobility, HR strategy, and company incorporation services in addition to EOR solutions.
