Employer of Record
Employer of Record: employ specialists locally, without creating a local structure
Your international projects may sometimes require you to mobilize a specialist in a country where your company does not have a legal entity, HR structure or local employment capacity.
Creating a subsidiary can be too slow, too costly or disproportionate to the duration of the assignment. Yet the project needs to move forward, the expert must be integrated quickly, and the contractual framework must remain clear.
With its Employer of Record solution, Ergonos helps you employ a specialist locally for a specific assignment, while taking care of the employment-related administrative framework.
You benefit from a flexible, structured solution adapted to your project constraints, without adding weight to your organization.
When should you use an Employer of Record solution?
Employer of Record is relevant when your project requires a locally employed specialist, but your company does not want to, or cannot, manage employment directly in the country concerned.
This solution is particularly useful if:
- you need to mobilize a specialist in a country where you do not have a local entity;
- the assignment is temporary or linked to a project phase;
- the specialist needs a local employment contract;
- creating a local structure would be too slow or disproportionate;
- your HR and Finance teams want to reduce administrative complexity;
- you need to integrate an expert quickly into an international project team.
EOR therefore allows you to move forward with a clear framework, without immediately creating a permanent presence in the country.
What Ergonos manages?
Ergonos supports industrial companies in implementing Employer of Record solutions adapted to their international assignments.
Depending on the context, we can help you manage:
- analysis of the need and the country concerned;
- selection of the most suitable contractual framework;
- implementation of the local contract;
- employment-related administrative coordination;
- assignment follow-up over time;
- exchanges between your company, the specialist and local stakeholders;
- adjustments if the assignment evolves.
Our role is to help you mobilize the specialist you need, in the right country, with the right framework, without placing the full complexity on your internal teams.
Employer of Record or Freelance Contract Management?
Employer of Record and Freelance Contract Management address two different situations.
The right solution depends on the country, the specialist’s status, the duration of the assignment, the level of integration into the project team and your internal constraints.
Ergonos helps you clarify this choice before the assignment starts.
