A company that legally employs workers on behalf of another company, handling payroll and compliance.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that serves as the legal employer for workers in countries where their actual employer doesn't have an entity. The EOR handles payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance with local labor laws.
For remote workers, this means you can be legally employed (not just a contractor) by a company even if they have no presence in your country. Companies like Deel, Remote, and Oyster provide EOR services.
