``What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service provider that takes on the legal responsibilities of employment in a specific country. When you partner with an EOR, they become the legal employer of your workforce in that country. They handle employment contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance with local laws. This allows you to hire employees in that country without having to establish a local entity or office.
What are the costs of using an Employer of Record in Armenia?
The cost of using an EOR in Armenia can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of employees you need to hire, the services required, and the type of provider. Native Teams provides transparent and flexible pricing. To learn more about our EOR pricing, please visit our pricing page.
What is the difference between PEO and EOR?
A Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) and an Employer of Record (EOR) both offer services that help businesses manage HR tasks like payroll, compliance, and benefits.
However, there is a key difference between the two.
With a PEO, your company and the PEO are considered co-employers. This means you share responsibility for employment matters, and your company must already have a legal entity in the desired country.
On the other hand, an EOR takes full responsibility for the legal aspects of employment, becoming the sole legal employer of your workers. This is ideal for businesses that want to hire employees in a country without having to set up a local entity or deal with co-employment issues.
What are the responsibilities of an Employer of Record (EOR) service provider?
The EOR is responsible for managing the legal and administrative aspects of employment. This includes ensuring that employment contracts are compliant with local laws, processing payroll, deducting taxes, administering benefits, and ensuring that the company remains in compliance with all relevant labour regulations. The EOR takes on the risk of employment-related compliance, so you don’t have to worry about potential legal issues.
Is using an Employer of Record in Armenia legal?
Yes, using an Employer of Record in Armenia is completely legal. Native Teams operates within the bounds of Armenian employment law and ensures full compliance with all legal requirements.
Why should I use EOR instead of opening my own company or an office in Armenia?
Opening a local office or company in Armenia requires significant investment, including registering your business, setting up an office, hiring legal and tax experts, and ensuring compliance with local laws. This can be a time-consuming and costly process. By using an EOR, you can skip these steps and focus on building your business in Armenia while we handle all the legal and administrative aspects. It’s a faster, more efficient way to expand into a new market.
How many people can I employ in Armenia?
There is no limit to the number of employees you can hire using our services. Whether you are hiring a few employees or building a larger team, we handle the administrative and compliance tasks, so you can focus on running your business.
