FAQS

How To Pick The Best Employer of Record Service

What kind of support can you expect?

Many EOR providers rely on online support systems, and quick responses are not guaranteed. Getting fast feedback is especially essential when trying to attract and retain global talent, where you can’t afford lengthy delays in your process.

At Playroll, we can guarantee always-on customer support and a dedicated support manager (for both employers and employees!) to give you personalized service. We provide proactive compliance updates and access to valuable resources, ensuring your global employment needs are met efficiently.

How do they help you stay compliant with local labor laws and regulations?

When you’re hiring overseas, mistakes in documentation or employment agreements that are not set up according to local laws will open up your business to massive risk. Be extra diligent in checking your EOR provider’s compliance credentials. You should be able to fully trust them to handle this critical area of your business without looking over their shoulder.

Check out the provider’s track record and whether they have in-house compliance expertise. For example, Playroll is backed by the VAT IT Group with 20+ years’ experience in global employment and compliance, and has a wide network of wholly owned entities.

Do they support hiring independent contractors as well as full-time employees?

Many providers have comprehensive services to hire full-time employees, but less support for compliantly hiring contractors. If you hire both types of workers, or want to convert your contractors to employees, make sure that they have a comprehensive contractor management solution.

Playroll supports compliant hiring of both full-time employees and contractors in 180+ countries, and can assist you in converting contractors as well.

What additional services do they offer?

Many EOR providers have one or two core product offerings, but don’t offer thorough support for other aspects of HR Management – meaning you might have to use multiple providers to cover all your needs, driving up cost.

Playroll goes beyond the standard offering of Employer Of Record providers with additional services such as visa and immigration support, employee benefits management and HR consulting. This ensures all aspects of your global employment needs are met, making us a one-stop solution for your business.
