``What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that takes over the responsibility of employing individuals on behalf of another company. An EOR provider handles admin and compliance tasks, including payroll, tax withholding, benefits administration, and compliance with local employment laws.
Besides employing on behalf of companies, some EOR providers like Native Teams also support freelancers, remote workers, and solo professionals by allowing them to get a legally “employed” status and employment benefits in their residential countries.
What are the costs of using an Employer or Record in Tunisia?
The costs for EOR services in Tunisia can be different, depending on the specific EOR provider, the number of employees, and the scope of services provided. Native Teams is among the EOR providers trusted by global companies in 85+ countries, offering a flexible and transparent pricing structure.
Starting at only €99 per employee per month, businesses can access an all-inclusive EOR solution which will allow them to hire and manage employment in compliance with Tunisian labour laws.
What is the difference between PEO and EOR?
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.
What are the responsibilities of an Employer of Record (EOR) service provider?
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.
Is using an Employer of Record in Tunisia legal?
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, and individuals can regulate their employment status in Tunisia.
Why should I use EOR instead of opening my own company or an office in Tunisia?
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.
How many people can I employ in Tunisia?
There is no specific limit on the number of employees you can hire in Tunisia or any other country. Using the services of an EOR provider, you can secure legal employment for yourself and employ as many individuals as your business requires.
