EOR vs. Global PEO? The Difference is Clear.
G-P pioneered the global Employer of Record (EOR) model, enabling fast global hiring and expansion without entity setup. Unlike a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), our EOR solutions provides control, compliance, and risk management, letting you focus on strategic growth with greater peace of mind.
How an EOR is built for more global success.
What is an EOR?
An EOR (Employer of Record) solution offers companies a direct employment relationship with global hires while reducing legal liability and offering greater control over all HR functions. This allows you to save time and money as you scale your workforce globally, avoiding non-compliance issues, and mitigating risk along the way.
What is a Global PEO?
A global EOR serves as a back-office administrator for companies with international employees. EOR places their clients’ global employees on their payroll, eliminating the need to set up subsidiaries in foreign countries. The EOR handles payroll, benefits, and compliance and regulatory tasks related to hiring globally, along with other HR duties as needed.
