Velocity Global’s service is very high-touch. Whenever we need to hire internationally, we know we’ll be taken care of. I would without hesitation recommend Velocity Global to other companies looking to relocate talent or hire across the world.

Velocity Global made what could’ve been very difficult much easier for us. Its in-country knowledge and constant communication provide our international employees with support that we don’t have the expertise to provide in-house.

FAQ
-
What is an employer of record?
An employer of record (EOR) is a third-party organization that becomes the full legal employer of your workforce and assumes all employer-related responsibilities on behalf of your company. While the EOR takes on your company’s HR responsibilities—onboarding, paying, and providing benefits for your supported talent—you continue to manage the day-to-day operations of your global teams.
-
Why use an employer of record?
An EOR enables companies to establish a presence in foreign markets without the complexities and restrictions of setting up an entity. As an EOR, Velocity Global hires international talent on your behalf through local and compliant employment contracts and becomes their legal employer.
Our EOR solution allows you to operate in new markets with savings of up to 60% compared to entity establishment. We handle compliance and risk mitigation and oversee payroll and benefits considerations with worldwide support. Our solution allows you to tap into global talent pools and new international markets quickly, affordably, and compliantly.
-
Will Velocity Global hire candidates for me?
Yes, we use locally compliant employment contracts to hire new members of your global team and become their legal employer.
-
Why use an employer of record instead of paying a worker as a contractor?
Employee misclassification is a considerable risk in this situation. If the employer manages an employee’s day-to-day responsibilities, or if the employee reports only to that employer, the employee is not a true consultant. Misclassification can result in severe fines and penalties. If you are unsure of the status of an employee, partnering with Velocity Global ensures compliant hiring.
-
Will you pay/deduct taxes from the supported employee’s payroll?
Yes, we withhold individual taxes monthly and follow all local tax laws in their region.
-
Do you charge fees for offboarding?
No, there are no fees for termination. However, we do require 30 days’ notice to offboard any customer. Please remember that the statutory notice period for the supported employee in a given country may be longer than 30 days by law. Some countries have unique mandatory severance periods and payouts, which our team will help you navigate.
If you must offboard a worker, we ensure compliance with local severance requirements and termination regulations. Whether voluntary or involuntary, we assist our customers through country-specific nuances to ensure a smooth separation.
-
How do I convert my contractors to full-time employees?
Leverage our entities to convert your contractors to full-time employees quickly. We handle onboarding, payroll, benefits, and HR support so you stay compliant while avoiding the time and costs of entity setup.
-
What types of Global Benefits are available?
Depending on the country a worker resides, these can include medical plans, life insurance, paid time off (PTO), and retirement plans. Global benefits fall into two major categories: statutory benefits—those required by each country or territory’s local laws—and supplemental benefits—additional benefits that enhance a worker’s medical, retirement, and insurance coverage.
