Employer of Record FAQs
Can an EOR help with temporary and contract workers?
Yes. Many businesses use EOR services for contractors, temporary workers, project-based hires, and specialist recruitment needs.
Does the employee work for my business?
The employee performs their day-to-day role for your organisation. The EOR acts as the legal employer for payroll and employment administration purposes.
Is an Employer of Record suitable for small businesses?
Absolutely. SMEs often use EOR services to access employment expertise without investing in a large HR or payroll function.
What Is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that legally employs workers on behalf of another business. While the employee works day to day for your company, the EOR takes responsibility for payroll, employment contracts, tax deductions, statutory benefits, pensions, and compliance with employment legislation. This allows businesses to hire talent quickly without establishing a legal entity or managing complex employment obligations themselves.
For growing businesses, recruitment agencies, and organisations expanding into new locations, an EOR provides a fast, compliant, and low-risk route to employment.
How does an EOR work?
The EOR becomes the legal employer on record, ensuring compliance with local labor laws, while the worker still works directly for your company on a day-to-day basis.
Is an Employer of Record legal in the UK?
Yes. Employer of Record arrangements are widely used and provide a compliant framework for employing workers while ensuring payroll, tax, and employment obligations are met correctly.
