Overview

What is PEO/EOR?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service provider that acts as the legal employer for a workforce on behalf of a client company (Camunda). They handle & assist with HR functions, payroll, tax compliance, benefits, and ensure legal and regulatory adherence. 

Why do we use a PEO/EOR?

We currently use a PEO/EOR to employ in locations where we do not have legal entities, we currently have entities in Germany, USA, UK & Singapore, for all other locations we use a PEO/EOR. Operating in this way truly enables us to find global & remote talent.

For some more detail heres what chatGPT has to say about "why companies use EORs?":

  1. Global Expansion: EORs facilitate international expansion by allowing companies to hire and manage employees in foreign countries without establishing legal entities there.

  2. Compliance: EORs ensure compliance with local labor laws, tax regulations, and employment standards, reducing the risk of legal issues and penalties.

  3. Cost Savings: EORs can help businesses save on administrative costs and time associated with HR and payroll processing.

  4. Efficiency: EORs streamline HR processes, including payroll, benefits administration, and onboarding, freeing up resources for core business activities.

  5. Risk Mitigation: EORs assume legal liability as the employer of record, reducing the client company's exposure to employment-related risks.

  6. Flexibility: Businesses can quickly scale their workforce up or down, adapt to market changes, or manage seasonal or project-based employment needs using EOR services.

  7. Expertise: EORs have expertise in global employment regulations, allowing clients to navigate complex international labor laws.

  8. Focus on Core Operations: By outsourcing HR-related tasks to EORs, companies can concentrate on their core business functions and strategic goals.

  9. Remote Workforce Management: EORs assist with hiring and managing remote or distributed teams, ensuring compliance and efficiency.

In summary, businesses use Employer of Record services to simplify international expansion, stay compliant with employment laws, reduce administrative burdens, manage employment risks, and focus on their core operations.

Who is our preferred PEO/EOR provider? 

We currently use remote.com as our preferred provider. To make things clearer in the following sections we will refer to remote.com instead of PEO/EOR. 

What are the differences with being a Remote.com Camundi?
