Employer of Record (EOR) in Taiwan

What Is a Global Employer of Record?

A Global Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that takes on the legal responsibility of employing your talent while you maintain day-to-day control over their tasks and responsibilities. The Global EOR serves as the official employer on record across multiple locations, handling all formalities such as immigration support, employment contracts, payroll, tax withholdings, and benefits administration. Meanwhile, the client company focuses on its core competencies—product development, marketing, customer engagement, and so forth—unburdened by the complexities of global HR compliance.

When Is Using a Global EOR Advantageous?

  1. Rapid Market Entry: If you’re looking to quickly establish a presence in a new international market, a Global EOR can expedite the process, enabling you to hire local talent without setting up a legal entity.
  2. Cost-Efficiency: The EOR model eliminates the need for investing in local infrastructure, HR, and legal teams, thereby reducing your overhead costs. It also lets you predict your expenses more accurately, as the EOR provides a full breakdown of employment costs upfront.
  3. Compliance and Risk Management: Navigating local labour laws, employment regulations, and tax codes can be a logistical minefield. An experienced EOR ensures that your operations comply with local laws, reducing your risk of legal issues and potential fines.
  4. Scalability: As your business grows, a Global EOR can effortlessly scale the size of your workforce up or down, providing you with the flexibility to adapt to market demands.
  5. Focus on Core Business: With the EOR managing HR, legal, and payroll, your team can fully concentrate on your core business activities. This is especially beneficial for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may not have the internal resources to manage these functions globally.
  6. Talent Acquisition and Retention: A Global EOR can provide your employees full benefits, making your company more attractive to top-tier talent. Also, by offloading administrative burdens, your internal teams can focus on strategies for talent retention and employee engagement.

By acting as the official employer, a Global EOR like us not only lifts the administrative burden off your shoulders but also enables you to fast-track your international expansion strategies. With our expertise, you can ensure compliance, efficiency, and flexibility while venturing into new markets.
