What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that acts as the legal employer for your international workforce. While you direct the day-to-day work of your employees, the EOR handles all legal and administrative employment responsibilities in each country.
This means you can hire talent anywhere in the world without establishing a local legal entity, navigating unfamiliar labor laws, or managing complex international payroll — typically saving 6–18 months and hundreds of thousands of dollars in setup costs.
Source and select the candidates you want to hire anywhere in the world.
GlobalStaff employs your hire through our in-country legal entities, eliminating the need for you to establish one.
Your new team member works as an integrated part of your organization — you direct all their work and projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions? Our team is happy to walk you through how EOR works for your specific situation.
What is the difference between an EOR and a PEO?
A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a co-employer arrangement that typically requires you to have a legal entity in the country first. An Employer of Record (EOR) acts as the sole legal employer, meaning you don’t need your own local entity. EOR is ideal for international hiring without entity setup.
How long does it take to hire using an EOR?
With Global EOR most employees can be onboarded in 48–72 hours in standard countries. Some markets with more complex local requirements (like Brazil or China) may take 5–10 business days. This is dramatically faster than the 6–18 months it takes to set up a local entity.
How does Global EOR handle intellectual property?
We include proper IP assignment clauses in all employment contracts, ensuring that work created by your employees is legally owned by your company. Our legal team customizes these clauses to be enforceable under each country’s specific IP laws.
Who controls the employee’s day-to-day work?
You do. GlobalStaff is the legal employer on paper for compliance purposes, but you maintain full control over your employee’s tasks, projects, performance reviews, and day-to-day management. The employment relationship with you remains intact.
What happens if I need to terminate an employee?
Global EOR handles terminations in full compliance with local labor laws, including notice periods, severance calculations, and required documentation. We advise you on the legally compliant approach for each country and manage the entire process to protect your company from liability.
Is an EOR suitable for long-term employment?
Absolutely. EOR is not just for temporary or contractor arrangements — it’s fully suited to permanent, long-term employment in any country. Many of our clients use GlobalStaff EOR as their permanent international HR infrastructure rather than setting up entities.
