This is only one model within our contract staffing services.

Whether or not your company has an HR department – that may or may not include competitive benefits, and many other pieces of today’s complex employment puzzle – you can have it all.

Look beyond using just a simple payroll company, and select an employer of record (EOR) firm. Legally, as your EOR our partner becomes the employer of your employees, and you essentially “rent” your employees. You, the client, hire your people, set their pay rates, and determine the employment agreement.

The employer of record handles benefits — including 401(k) and other retirement, insurance, state and federal deposits — and employee taxes and reporting. Even some owners elect to become a company employee and enjoy the benefits that big companies offer. The employer of record company has a huge employee count that allows them to negotiate benefit plans at far more favorable rates than you could get on your own.
