EOR Benefits For Small Businesses
Let An EOR Take Care Of Administrative Work. EORs can help reduce administration work by taking over a portion of HR functions, including payroll compliance, onboarding paperwork, benefits administration, timesheets, Workers' Compensation and unemployment claims, and the depositing and filing of taxes. By taking over these important but time-consuming duties, an EOR reduces overhead and lets you focus on the parts of your business that need your individual leadership skills.
Expand Your Business. Registering your business as an entity abroad is a great expansion opportunity but it does come with barriers. Without an EOR, you may need to wait for an embassy’s approval before any business activities commence. Since an EOR is considered a registered company, operating with an EOR gives you the ability to start hiring high-quality workers right away. An EOR will pay your workers in the currency of the country you are expanding to and will make the appropriate deductions while your company still has control over the work that is being done.
Comply With Local Law. When you’re trying to expand your company to other countries, you have to be sure you’re complying with the labor laws of that country. Labor laws change from country to country and likely won’t follow the same laws as your US-based sector. Some labor laws may not be known by a business owner in the US, but you don’t want to risk breaking these laws due to a lack of knowledge. EORs have intricate knowledge of the labor laws of the country they are working in and can help you reduce the risk of violating compliance and receiving fines or other legal ramifications. And if for any reason labor laws are violated, the responsibility will fall to the EOR instead of your company, ensuring there will be no legal consequences for your business.
