FAQs

What is an international PEO and how does it help your business?

An international PEO eases your entry into a new country and helps you hire employees quickly. As an employer of record, your PEO looks after hiring, payroll, compliance and HR management, so you can focus on your business.

What do terms like PEO, GEO and EOR mean? Do they all refer to the same thing?

An international PEO manages a range of services to ease your entry into a new country. A GEO (Global Employment Outsourcing) is similar. An Employer of Record (EOR) takes on the legal responsibility of employing staff on behalf of your organization.

Why use an international PEO instead of incorporating locally?

In a nutshell, speed, ease and affordability. There are many benefits for incorporating locally (protect your assets, access tax incentives, raise capital). But given it’s costly and complex, incorporation is not for everyone. If you intend to expand but are uncertain about how much or how soon to do so, then an international PEO is a great solution.

Who should use a PEO?

Any business looking to expand quickly and risk-free.

Does an international PEO provider hire candidates for me?

Yes, typically an international PEO provider can assist you to hire candidates.

As an international PEO, do you use local partners and suppliers or do you manage everything?

Never, we manage everything. We provide full coverage with a dedicated service delivery team.

What type of businesses need a PEO?

Many types of businesses find a PEO useful. This is not limited to specific locations or industries or even the size of the business.

How does a PEO differ from employee leasing, HR outsourcing or temporary contracts?

In an employee leasing situation, an arrangement is made between a business and a staffing firm (supplies the business with workers either on a project or temporary basis). HR outsourcing refers to a contractual arrangement where a third party supports a business through a range of services (hiring, recruiting etc). Temporary contracts are offered when the contract is not expected to be permanent. The contract could be held by the HR outsourcing firm or the business itself. A PEO, however, would be the employer on record for the staff hired.

What are the main benefits for an employer to use a PEO?

With a PEO, your business gets a unified customer service experience through a single contract and contact approach. Additionally, such a service comes with assurances as to data security, quality and effective employee support.
