What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs your workers in countries where you don't have a registered entity. The EOR handles local payroll, tax withholding, social security, statutory benefits, and employment contracts — you keep day-to-day management of the employee. It's the fastest legal route to hire internationally: days instead of the 3–6 months it takes to incorporate a foreign subsidiary, and significantly cheaper below ~5 hires per country.
The major international EOR providers — Deel, Remote, Oyster, Multiplier, Velocity Global, Globalization Partners, Rippling EOR, Papaya Global, and Skuad — all charge a flat monthly fee (USD 299–699/employee) or a percentage of gross salary (8–15%). On top of that you pay gross salary plus statutory employer contributions, which range from ~3% (South Africa) to ~45% (France). This directory shows the cheapest provider per country at every salary band.
