Hire, Onboard, Manage, and Pay Global Talent with Flexible Employer of Record Solutions

Hiring talent in a country without a legal entity is complex and time-consuming.  

A global Employer of Record (EOR) serves as the legal employer of your workers abroad, handling contracts, labor law compliance, tax registration, and other employment responsibilities—while you retain full control over your employee’s day-to-day work. 

What Is an Employer of Record?

An EOR is a fully managed HR and compliance service that enables businesses to hire employees in new countries without setting up a local entity.  

The EOR partner manages the legal and operational side of employment, providing localized contracts, ensuring compliance with local labor and tax laws, and supporting payroll, benefits, and documentation. 

Why Atlas HXM:
The Direct EOR Advantage

Unlike EOR providers that rely on third-party partners or local vendors, Atlas HXM owns and operates its entities in over 160 countries. This removes uncertainty around who is responsible for your workforce and ensures your teams are supported by local, in-house experts—not third parties. 

Benefits of the Direct EOR Model

Complete transparency, faster onboarding, and stronger compliance control without added third-party costs or delays.

Speed to market—onboard employees in days, not weeks, thanks to in-house local experts.

Simple, predictable pricing with no hidden fees.

EOR vs. Other Workforce Models

When expanding globally, organizations often consider Independent Contractors (ICs), PEOs, EORs, or setting up a legal entity. 

Independent Contractors

Flexible but carry misclassification risks that can result in fines, back taxes, and legal liabilities. 

PEO (Co-Employment)

Supports companies with existing entities, sharing liability and handling payroll, benefits, and HR administration. 

EOR

Becomes the legal employer, handling payroll, benefits, taxes, compliance, and risk across multiple jurisdictions.

Setting Up a Legal Entity

Can take 20+ weeks and requires ongoing legal, payroll, and compliance operations. 

EOR Pricing: How Does It Work?

EOR pricing typically depends on factors such as headcount, country of employment, and the provider’s operating model (direct vs. indirect).

What’s Included in EOR Pricing

Monthly cost per employee: Core service fee that covers employment, payroll, and compliance

Benefits charges: Costs for statutory and optional benefits, which may vary by country.

Onboarding and administrative fees: Some providers charge setup fees or additional admin costs.

Foreign exchange (F/X) fees: The cost of converting one currency to another. The exchange rate is the value of the currencies being swapped, while the F/X fee is an added charge by banks or providers for making that conversion.

Mandatory and statutory costs: Country-specific employment costs such as social contributions or taxes.

Atlas HXM’s Pricing Model

Atlas HXM offers simple, predictable flat-rate pricing for full transparency and scalability—unaffected by month-to-month statutory fluctuations or third-party markups.

Additional Considerations When Comparing EOR Providers

Beyond pricing, it’s important to look at the overall value and efficiency a provider offers: 

  • Whether the provider operates directly or through partners in each country, which can affect both cost and service quality. 

  • The number of platforms or logins required to manage your workforce. Fewer systems mean faster visibility and less admin work. 

  • How benefits packages differ by region. Some providers offer only basic statutory coverage, while others provide enhanced options for employee attraction and retention. 

  • Whether VAT is charged in certain markets, which can impact your total cost.
