What you need to know?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that hires employees on behalf of your company. While you manage the day-to-day activities and performance of the employee, the EOR takes on the legal and administrative responsibilities, including payroll, tax, compliance, and benefits. EOR services are particularly useful for companies hiring internationally without wanting to establish a legal entity in each country.
The total cost of using an EOR in Tunisia includes the employee’s gross salary, statutory contributions (social security and tax), and the service fee charged by the EOR provider. Native Teams offers transparent pricing, giving you access to our complete compliance infrastructure, local HR support, and payroll platform.

An EOR provider will take over the role of legal employer for your company. This means that they’ll take full responsibility for hiring employees, managing payroll, administering benefits, withholding taxes, and other essential functions. As such, EOR providers are mostly beneficial for companies that want to hire in specific countries but don’t have their own legal entities there.
On the other hand, PEO providers cover only a part of these responsibilities, such as HR functions like payroll and benefits administration. The client company remains the legal employer and retains a shared responsibility for compliance and employment management. As such, PEO providers are a good option for businesses with legal entities in the countries of employment but need expert assistance for their HR operations.
EOR providers’ main responsibility is being the legal employer for their client companies in specific countries. When using an EOR, your employees are formally employed through the EOR’s entities in the country of employment, and the provider takes care of onboarding/offboarding, employment contracts, employee benefits administration, and other essential functions.
EOR providers are also responsible for processing payroll, handling employment-related matters, ensuring compliance with labour laws, and sometimes providing additional HR support if needed.
Yes, using Employer of Record services in Tunisia is completely legal. In fact, one of the main responsibilities of EOR providers is helping businesses and solo professionals work in compliance with employment laws and regulations. With the help of an EOR provider, businesses can compliantly hire team members.
Opening a company in Tunisia is a complex process that requires legal expertise, time, and financial resources. The process includes administrative procedures like registering with the authorities, obtaining a tax identification number, opening business accounts, and sometimes even finding a physical office before you hire your first employee.
On the other hand, an EOR provider can help you hire employees without opening your own company. By being the legal employer for your company, your EOR provider will manage employment, payroll, taxes, and benefits in full compliance with Tunisian laws. This means that you can hire employees in Tunisia and expand your business without opening your own legal entity or dealing with complex labour laws.
There is no minimum or maximum limit to the number of employees you can hire through Native Teams in Tunisia. Whether you want to onboard a single developer or build out an entire local team, our EOR services can scale with your needs.
