As employment needs evolve in response to advancement in technology and changes in global economy, organisations are increasingly seeking flexible and efficient solutions to expand their global workforce. One of such solutions being increasingly used by organisations is the “Employer of Record” (EOR) system also referred to as “employee outsourcing” in some jurisdictions. This has emerged as a vital strategy for organisations who seek to navigate the complexities of international hiring, compliance with local laws, tax and payroll management, etc. One of the major benefits of hiring through an EOR is that it removes the regulatory obstacles in the process of international employment. As a result, the EOR model is becoming an essential tool for businesses aiming to maintain agility and competitiveness in a global market.
