Global PEO and Payroll in Hungary

Gone are the days when businesses could not expand internationally as quickly as possible because of the barriers to global business like intricate local legislations or cumbersome and costly procedures of setting up a foreign subsidiary. Global Professional Employer Organization (PEO) – a modern international talent engagement model has provided a new and better way to go global by hiring a workforce overseas.

What Is a Global PEO (Professional Employment Organization)?

A PEO (Professional Employment Organisation) is an international employment service provider that allows you to outsource all the legal and administrative hiring complexities and ongoing payroll for your empyees in foreign countries. With a PEO by your side, your company can focus on finding and hiring the best talent without worrying about administrative hassles.

A professional employer organization (PEO) allows businesses to outsource specific tasks and processes related to employee management without establishing a locally registered entity in the target country.

A professional employee organization (PEO) provides hiring, payroll, and benefits management services to businesses of all sizes. When you work with a PEO, it becomes your Employer of Record for tax purposes, which allows you to save time and money on HR and payroll functions.

What Is Co-employment Model?

In a “co-employment” arrangement, with the help of a Professional Employment Organisation (PEO), the PEO takes on many traditional employment responsibilities. The employer retains complete control of their employees’ day-to-day management and business.

Large companies are increasingly choosing to partner with a PEO, a global employment service provider, to help them balance their workload and simplify the international hiring processes. The role of the PEO is to manage all administrative HR considerations related to your global employment journey, including onboarding and offboarding, payroll, benefits, and tax administration in Hungary. Plus, you’ll have better control over costs and can avoid non-compliance risks. A PEO has deeper expertise, is familiar with current immigration, tax, and labor laws, can identify employment and tax law issues before they escalate, and can provide expert guidance and recommendations.

Professional Employer Organization (PEO) in Hungary: Comprehensive and Immigration Consulting

The immigration process can be a long, arduous one. Many employers become frustrated with it. The employer needs to fill out several forms promptly; the employee trying to secure employment will have to provide documents proving eligibility and authorization for the job. As there are several steps, it’s easy for something to be missed or overlooked.

There are many hoops that foreign employees have to jump through to secure a work permit. The process is often rigorous and difficult to navigate, especially for those unaware of the required documents and information. 

That’s where Professional Employment Organizations (PEO) come in. The PEO partner can provide you with help and guidance through immigration. Acumen International PEO can play a bridge between the employee and the employer with their comprehensive immigration and compliance services across 190 countries.

A PEO (Professional Employment Organization) can oversee the entire process from start to finish and act as an intermediary – relieving both parties from having to worry about details such as paperwork and deadlines. This makes it easier for employees since they don’t have to worry about obtaining business visas and work permits for their workforce; the PEO company takes all the tedious paperwork. For employers, it relieves them from the headache of hounding their employees about missing information or securing visas in time; PEO companies handle all this on behalf of their clients.

The length of time it takes for an employee to receive a visa or work permit depends on several factors, including how quickly you can partner with an experienced and reliable global PEO company, what type of visa or work permit you need and what country you are coming from.

A Global PEO can be an affordable and efficient solution for businesses needing to employ professionals in multiple countries or locations. With our global network of offices, we can quickly bring new employees on board and ensure all staff is fully compliant with visa and immigration requirements.

Acumen International PEO solution can help you employ representatives from your home country to manage the launch of your product in the local market. You can also use our specialists to undertake projects of any complexity or duration. If it turns out that the market is not viable, you can easily withdraw without losing much money.
