Hire in countries where you have no entity

An Employer of Record, or EOR, is a company that legally employs someone on your behalf in a country where you have no entity. Remote holds the employment contract, runs payroll, withholds taxes, and administers benefits under that country's law. You direct the work, set the pay, and manage the person day to day, exactly as you would with any other member of your team.

The employment relationship, end to end. Remote drafts and holds the local employment contract, runs monthly payroll and tax withholding, administers statutory benefits and leave, handles onboarding and offboarding, and keeps the employment compliant as local law changes. Expenses, contract changes, documents and approvals all run in the platform. You keep the work itself: what your team does, who they report to, and how they are managed.

By acting as the direct employer of record in-country. Remote employs your team through entities we own and operate in 90+ countries, with in-house legal, payroll, and HR teams in market instead of third-party partners, so local labor law, filings and statutory benefits are handled by people who work for Remote rather than passed to someone else. Under Remote's terms, indemnities for employment services are not subject to the general cap or the super cap, so the exposure sits with us.

No. That is the point of the model. Setting up and maintaining a local entity typically takes months and carries ongoing legal, accounting, and filing costs. Customers save $74,000 on average compared with setting up their own entity, and can onboard a new employee in three days on average instead.

You. Remote is the legal employer on paper, which means we are responsible for the contract, payroll, tax, and statutory benefits. Everything else stays with you: what they work on, who they report to, how they are managed, and whether the role continues. Your team will not experience Remote as their employer day to day.
