FAQ
-
What is an employer of record?
An employer of record (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 team members on your behalf through local and compliant employment contracts.
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 lets you tap into global talent pools and new international markets quickly, affordably, and compliantly.
-
Who should use an employer of record?
An EOR benefits organizations of various sizes and sectors. However, it is particularly valuable to companies that:
- Are unsure if they will be in the market for five or more years
- Have international headcounts between one and 20 supported employees
- Cannot delay their hiring timelines and need to be operational in new markets quickly
- Do not have the extensive financial and internal resources required for global expansion
- Require a bridged solution between an acquisition close date and entity readiness
-
How can I hire globally?
Companies typically take three routes to hire globally: engaging contractors, setting up entities, or working with an employer of record. Contractors are ideal for shorter projects but are legally ineligible to receive the benefits and perks that many top job seekers expect. While setting up entities means companies can legally hire talent as employees—and thus provide them with full-time employment benefits—entity setup is a lengthy and costly process.
That’s why many companies turn to an employer of record. Doing so gives employers a turnkey solution for onboarding, pay, benefits, equity awards, and HR support. It also provides peace of mind that companies are compliantly and cost-effectively running a distributed workforce without taking on extra burdens.
-
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 an EOR ensures compliant hiring.
-
Do you pay/deduct taxes from a 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 supported employee. Please remember that the statutory notice period for a 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 does an employer of record increase speed to market?
Instead of spending months on the logistics and compliance burdens required to set up a new legal entity for your business, an employer of record solution enables fully compliant expansion within days.
