Frequently asked questions
-
What’s the difference between an EOR and a PEO?
Think cousins, not twins. A PEO co-employs your workers alongside you, which works well domestically. You still need your own legal entity in every country where you hire. An EOR takes over as the full legal employer. With Pebl's global EOR services, you don't have to worry about cross-border compliance or payroll.
-
Will an EOR recruit candidates for me?
We don’t find the people, but once you do, we make it legal to employ them. If you need help sourcing, we can connect you to recruiters we trust.
-
Can an EOR hire employees in multiple countries?
Yes! An EOR provider handles hiring new team members without you needing to establish a foreign legal entity. EOR services use local, compliant contracts and becomes the legal employer for those supported employees.
-
Does Pebl broker a deal with local partners, or are you involved through the entire EOR process?
We're with you all the way. No third-party brokers; Pebl's own regional teams handle your account. That means you'll have a dedicated account manager who speaks your language and knows the local employment legalities and cultural differences. Our teams keep up with changes in labor law and conduct quarterly compliance reviews to prevent any legal mishaps from arising.
-
How much does an EOR cost?
It depends on a few things. EOR service providers typically charge either a flat monthly fee per employee or a percentage of gross salary. The rate varies by country, headcount, and scope of services. Just be mindful of any hidden fees that may appear on the invoice later.
Across the market, flat fees generally run anywhere from $300 to $1,000 per employee per month. Percentage-based models usually land between 8% and 20% of an employee's gross salary. Pebl's pricing is built to be straightforward. Try our self-serve portal to get an accurate idea based on where you're hiring and how many people you need to bring on board.
-
Can an EOR convert contractors to employees?
Yes. And honestly, it's one of the smartest moves a growing company can make. If a member on your team started as a contractor but now operates like an employee, many country jurisdictions will treat them as such, no matter what the contract says. Misclassification carries real risks, like paying back taxes and providing employee benefits. Pebl's EOR services make the conversion from contractor to employee clean and compliant, ensuring that the working relationship reflects what it truly is.
-
When should a company use an employer of record service?
The short answer is whenever you want to hire someone in a country where you have no legal entity. But a few other global scenarios tend to bring companies to Pebl.
Use an EOR if you're testing a new market and want to hire locally before committing to a full entity setup. Your HR team is stretched and needs someone to own the compliance side of international hiring. Or you've been working with contractors overseas and want to put things on firmer legal ground. Global EOR services exist to make these situations manageable, not stressful.
