What you need to know?

What is an Employer of Record?

Employer of Record (EOR) is a service provider that takes over the legal responsibility of employing individuals on behalf of another company. The main responsibility of such providers is taking care of the administrative and compliance duties of the client, including payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and compliance with local laws.

What are the costs of using an Employer or Record in Cyprus?

The costs for using EOR services in Cyprus depend on the specific EOR provider, the number of employees, and the scope of services provided. 

Native Teams’ EOR services are available in 85+ countries worldwide and are recognised for their flexibility, transparency, and customisation in pricing. To know more about the EOR pricing, visit our pricing page.

What is the difference between PEO and EOR?

EOR providers assume the role of legal employer for your business and take over the responsibility of hiring employees, managing payroll, administering benefits, and withholding taxes. As such, EOR providers are mostly beneficial for companies that want to hire employees from different countries but don’t have their own legal entities in the country of employment.

PEO providers manage only a part of these operations, including HR tasks like payroll and benefits administration. The client company remains the legal employer of their new hires, while the responsibility for employment management and compliance is shared between the client company and the PEO provider. Therefore, PEO services can be advantageous for businesses with legal entities in the country of employment but need professional assistance for handling employment management and HR operations.

What are the responsibilities of an Employer of Record (EOR)?

The main responsibility of EOR providers is to take over the role of the legal employer for your team members in their home countries. This means that your team members will be legally employed through the legal entity of the EOR provider. 

The EOR provider will also handle functions like employment contracts, benefits administration, payroll, onboarding and offboarding processes, compliance with local laws, and others.

Is using an Employer of Record in Cyprus legal?

Yes, using EOR services in Cyprus is completely legal. In fact, one of the most important responsibilities of EOR providers is helping businesses work in compliance with local labour laws and regulations. By using an EOR provider, business owners can provide legal employment for their team members in Cyprus. 

Why should I use EOR instead of opening my own company or an office in Cyprus?

Opening a company in Cyprus can be a very complex process that requires time, legal expertise, and financial resources. The process includes registering your business with the authorities, obtaining a tax identification number, opening a business bank account, and finding a physical office before you are able to employ individuals locally. 

EOR providers are a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to establishing a legal entity in the country. These services help you hire and manage employees compliantly in Cyprus without doing all the above-mentioned processes.

How many people can I employ in Cyprus?

There is no limit to the number of individuals you can employ in Cyprus or any other country. Through Native Teams’ EOR solutions, you can employ as many team members as your business requires.
