What G-P does?
G-P created the employer of record (EOR) industry over a decade ago so companies can hire anywhere, without setting up new entities. An EOR serves as the legal employer on behalf of a company, managing contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance with local labor laws.
As the EOR, G-P takes care of the legal employment piece, while companies manage daily operations:
-
G-P: Handles onboarding, local contracts, payroll, benefits, tax compliance, and offboarding — ensuring your operations stay compliant in every country of operation.
-
The company: Directs day-to-day employee activities, schedules, and compensation.
G-P’s Global Employment Platform has three AI-enabled products to support diverse global strategies and needs:
