GOT QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about how Atlas HXM’s EOR works? We've answered the most common ones to help you make confident, informed decisions about global hiring and compliance.

What does an EOR handle for your business?

An EOR manages the legal and administrative responsibilities of employment, including compliant hiring, payroll, taxes, benefits, and local labor law requirements. This removes complexity and reduces risk when employing talent internationally.

Why do companies use an EOR?

Companies use an EOR to enter new markets faster, hire global talent compliantly, and avoid the time and cost of setting up local entities. An EOR provides flexibility, speed, and peace of mind as teams scale across borders.

Should you use an EOR or set up a local entity?

Both Employer of Record (EOR) services and local entity setup can support global expansion, depending on your timeline, scale, and risk appetite. Understanding the differences helps organizations choose the right model for each stage of growth.

What’s the difference between an EOR and a PEO?

Both EOR and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) models support HR operations, but they differ in legal responsibility, compliance requirements, and international hiring capabilities. Understanding the distinction is critical when expanding globally.

What’s the difference between direct and indirect EOR models?

Indirect EOR providers rely on third-party vendors to employ workers locally, which can introduce delays and compliance risk. A direct EOR like Atlas HXM owns and operates its local entities, providing faster onboarding, clearer accountability, and consistent global compliance.

Our pre-established legal entities, localized employment contracts, and in-region HR experts ensure a smooth, fully compliant onboarding process, so your new hires can hit the ground running without administrative delays.

How does Atlas HXM ensure the security and privacy of data?

Atlas HXM is ISO 27001/27017/27018 certified and uses encryption, secure storage, and strict access controls to keep your business and employee data safe, compliant, and audit-ready.

Who will provide onboarding and ongoing support to new talent?

All Atlas HXM worksite employees receive a dedicated HR Employee Relationship Consultant, who guides onboarding and provides ongoing personalized support, ensuring your team feels informed and connected wherever they are.

Can an EOR help convert international contractors into full-time employees?

Yes. An EOR enables companies to convert international contractors into compliant full-time employees without setting up a local entity. Atlas HXM manages the legal employment, contracts, payroll, and compliance required for a smooth transition.
