PEO and EOR Explained

Eos provides world-class professional employment services and solutions for hiring and managing employees globally.

A global professional employer organization (PEO) acts as the legal employer of record (EOR) of staff assigned by the client anywhere in the world. Whilst the EOR employs the staff under their own local entity, the client directs their day-to-day work activities. The EOR is responsible for the local HR, payroll, and compliance related work, leaving the client to focus on their business objectives. This model simplifies global workforce management for businesses of all sizes.

PEO Role and Scope of Responsibilities

Our professional employer organization duties include visa sponsorship and immigration services, employer of record payroll services, benefits, expenses, tax, and leave management. Eos HR services span the whole cycle of employment, including recruitment and initial package advisory, employment contracts, and onboarding queries for your foreign and local staff to termination as well as labor law-related compliance management.

Employer of Record (EOR) Role and Scope

As a global employer of record service provider, we help companies looking to penetrate quickly into new markets and want to employ staff in a country where they do not have a legal entity. The EOR becomes the legal employer of the staff for tax and employment law purposes.
Our EOR service covers all aspects of employment, including:

Employee onboarding and offboarding in compliance with local laws
Drafting compliant contracts and legal documentation
Managing payroll including calculating salaries, bonuses and tax deductions
Handling HR duties
Providing ongoing legal support when required.

Understanding the Difference: EOR vs. PEO

While both EOR and PEO services are crucial for global business operations, they serve distinct functions in terms of:

Legal Entity Requirement: EOR can be used without a legal entity in the employee’s country, while PEO generally requires the client to have a legal presence.
Employment Control: In an EOR model, the EOR is the legal employer, whereas, in a PEO setup, the client remains the primary employer.
Service Scope: EOR is more comprehensive, handling legal and compliance aspects, while PEO focuses on HR-related tasks.
