Global PEO and Payroll in the Netherlands

Global business expansion is a multifaceted process that involves more than just establishing a physical presence in a new market. It encompasses a range of activities, including market research, compliance with local laws and regulations, establishing distribution channels, and, crucially, hiring local talent.

For businesses, the HR aspect of global expansion—such as talent acquisition, payroll, and benefits administration—is often one of the most challenging. This is where Global PEO and Payroll services, such as those offered by Express Global Employment, become invaluable. They allow companies to hire and manage local talent without the complexity and cost of setting up a foreign subsidiary. By serving as the co-employer, Express Global Employment takes on legal compliance, tax obligations, and payroll responsibilities, allowing the business to focus on its core operations.

What is a Global PEO?

A Global PEO is an organization that allows companies to hire employees in different countries without the need to set up a local subsidiary or go through the complex process of understanding and complying with local employment laws and regulations. Essentially, it serves as a co-employer and takes on many HR responsibilities that typically require a local presence. These services often go beyond just employment and payroll; they can also include aspects like talent acquisition, employee training, benefits administration, and compliance management.

In a co-employment model, the Global PEO becomes the “employer of record,” handling various legal and compliance responsibilities related to employment, while the client company retains control over the day-to-day activities and job roles of the employee. This enables businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, to expand into new international markets more swiftly and efficiently.

Who Can Benefit from Our Services?

Our Global PEO solutions are particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that lack the internal resources or expertise to manage a global workforce. That said, companies of various sizes and sectors can exploit our services to penetrate international markets, including the Dutch business ecosystem, swiftly.

How Does the Operating Model Work?

Known for its flexibility and effectiveness, the “co-employment model” is at the core of our Global PEO operations. In this arrangement, Express Global Employment assumes the role of the official employer on record. We handle critical employment-related responsibilities such as payroll, taxes, and compliance, thus allowing your company to focus on the employee’s day-to-day roles and wider business objectives.

Global Employment Solutions

While many Employer of Record (EOR) services limit themselves to legal compliance and payroll, our Global PEO services offer a more comprehensive suite of HR solutions. Whether it’s talent acquisition to bolster your team, custom training programmes to enhance skills, or performance management strategies to lift productivity, our services allow you to manage international teams with minimum hassle and maximum focus on your core business.
