Advantages of Using PEO and EOR Outsourcing Services – Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) and
Employer of Record (EOR services) are secondment services that help businesses with overseas deployment. Under PEO/EOR businesses will not have to set up a legal entity to set up a workforce in another country. A service provider will legally employ staff on behalf of your company and transfer them back to you under a service agreement, allowing you to hire staff immediately to perform business operations.
PEO (professional employer organization) vs EOR (employment of record): Are they both the same?
PEO and EOR provide different services. EOR puts a portion of your business and employees on the payroll. PEO takes care of all your employees and provides all HR-related functions. Additionally, you hold an employment contract when you work with a PEO, whereas EOR holds an employment contract, engaging you with a service agreement.
Below are the main differences between PEO and EOR:
1. Workers are Classified Differently
If you choose EOR, then EOR provides the job and is legally responsible to employees, but in the case of PEO, the legal responsibility remains with you to hire your employees.
2. Responsibility for Business Registration
EOR allows you to hire employees in other countries without registering a physical entity, but at PEO you need to register your entity at your location.
3. Difference in The Minimum Number of Workers Required to Start
EOR can be started with one or two employees but for a PEO you need a minimum of 5-10 employees to get started or more.
4. Insurance Plan
For registered employers, insurance costs are included, but in the case of professional employers’ organizations, insurance is paid in addition to the PEO service fee which is one of the biggest hidden costs in the service.
As mentioned above by title. What are the Advantages of using these two services?
