How does an EOR in Finland work?
Before you’re able to hire employees in Finland, you must have a legal entity in the country.

``What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that takes over the role of legal employer for their client company. In simple terms, the client’s employees are formally employed through the EOR provider’s legal entities in full compliance with local labour laws. EOR partners also handle tasks like payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and other HR functions.
What are the costs of using an Employer or Record in Finland?
The expenses for EOR services in Finland are different, depending on the specific EOR provider, the number of employees, and the scope of HR services your business requires.
As an EOR partner trusted by global companies in 85+ countries, Native Teams offers a transparent pricing structure with no hidden fees. For more information regarding our EOR pricing, please visit our pricing page.
What is the difference between PEO and EOR?
An EOR provider will act as the legal employer for your global employees in their home countries. Beyond providing formal employment, EORs are also responsible for managing payroll, taxes, benefits, employment contracts, and local law compliance. As such, they’re a good option for companies that want to hire abroad but don’t have their own legal entities there.
PEO providers cover only a few of these responsibilities, including HR functions like payroll management and benefits administration. The client company remains the legal employer and has a shared responsibility for compliance with its PEO provider. Therefore, PEO services can be beneficial for companies that have legal entities in the hiring countries but need expert assistance in managing their HR operations.
What are the responsibilities of an Employer of Record (EOR) service provider?
The number one responsibility of an EOR provider is taking over the role of legal employer for your employees in their home countries.
With an EOR, your employees will be formally employed through the provider’s legal entities, and they will manage employment contracts, payroll, benefits, taxes, and local law compliance. With this, you’ll be able to focus on more strategic business initiatives without any worries about your administrative and compliance duties.
Is using an Employer of Record in Finland legal?
Yes, using EOR services in Finland is completely legal. In fact, the main responsibility of EORs is to help you work and hire in compliance with Finland’s employment laws and regulations. With the help of Native Teams as an EOR, businesses can compliantly hire new team members.
Why should I use EOR instead of opening my own company or an office in Finland?
Opening a company in Finland is a complicated process that requires local law expertise and financial resources. Before you’re able to hire, you need to register with the authorities, obtain a tax ID number, open a business bank account, and, in some cases, find a physical office space.
With a dedicated EOR partner, you can skip this process and hire directly without a legal entity in Finland. The EOR will be the legal employer for your team in the country and cover responsibilities like payroll, taxes, benefits, and contracts, allowing you to hire the best talent in the Finnish market without any administrative or compliance restrictions.
