What is an Employer of Record?

• An Employer of Record (EoR) is a service provider that helps us hire in foreign countries where we do not have a local entity.
• At Publitas, our Employer of Record provider is **Native teams.** Check out the potentially available countries here!
• An EoR has a local entity and resources in the relevant countries and provides the service of employing and complying with local labor laws, payroll, and taxes.

EoR’s Roles and Responsibilities

The EoR is the legal employer, while Publitas manages the day-to-day of the team members.

In other words, Publitas decides who to hire, how to compensate, what work to perform, and when to terminate. The EoR is the HR service responsible for compliance with local laws in the countries where our team members live and work.

EoR is responsible for:

1. Employment contract and compliance
   • Adhering to local labor laws
   • Advice on required notice periods and termination rules
2. Country-compliant payroll and taxes
3. Payment of salaries, taxes, and social security
4. Benefits (e.g., statutory ones such as holidays, maternity leave, etc.)

What is the difference between being a Contractor and an Employee?

• As a contractor, the working relationship is that you provide services to Publitas and are not directly employed. You are responsible for your employment insurance, taxes, and compliance in your specified country.
  • SeeBeing a Contractor at Publitas for more details.
• As an employee, you will be on the payroll of the EoR and have access to social security benefits depending on your country’s labor laws. See the resources below and find your country to check out the labor laws and cost calculators for your country.
