What is Employer of Record Payrolling?

eor-payrolling

US and International payrolling is a common but often misunderstood service. Businesses are often unaware that they need or, in fact, are using this service. EOR payrolling is a service provided by third party companies. These companies become the employer of record. They handle the employment life cycles of workers, including onboarding, payroll processing, and offboarding, while they are on assignment with another company. While payroll processing or “payrolling,” an EOR pays payroll taxes, withholds federal and state taxes, administers benefits and maintains compliance. A company benefits from outsourcing these services by saving the time and money expended on these services. Who Can Be Payrolled? Payrollees are temporary workers on assignment with a company for a set period of time. These workers can be seasonal, contract or project-based. They fill a temporary need and the assignment ends once that obligation is fulfilled. Benefits of Payrolling… [Read More]

The Differences Between an Employer of Record and a PEO

eor-vs-peo

Employer of Record (EOR) is a service provided by companies that act as the legal employer for a worker on behalf of another company. The EOR takes on responsibilities such as payroll, taxes, and compliance with employment laws, allowing the client company to focus on its core business activities. The worker is considered an employee of the EOR, but performs duties for the client company. This arrangement is often used in situations where a company wants to expand into a new geographic location or to hire independent contractors. Studies show that workers that work from home display greater satisfaction and lower stress levels than workers commuting to the company’s offices. Remote employees enjoy the flexibility that remote work offers and often choose to live in different cities or states than their employer. As technology and culture evolve, there is less need for employees to be… [Read More]

Difference Between an Employer of Record & Staffing Agency

employer-of-record-vs-staffing-agency

It is not uncommon to hear employer of record services equated with staffing services. Although the two are mutually beneficial, an employer of record is a separate entity from a staffing agency, each with distinct functions and responsibilities. Roles A collaborative relationship exists between an employer of record and its client, which can be a business or a staffing agency. While an employee works for the client, the employer of record assumes the role of the legal employer for tax purposes. The employer of record handles all administrative functions, such as payroll processing, federal & state tax withholding and filing, record-keeping, and all HR support functions. The EOR also conducts pre-employment screening such as background checks and drug testing, in addition to human resources functions such as administering benefits, termination of employees, and all other worker issues. On the other hand, a staffing agency recruits… [Read More]

Why Compliance Matters in 2017

With a new era of quickly changing regulations and market trends, compliance is now the top challenge and focus for employers in 2017. The year began with a change in administration, bringing along an overhaul of employment law.  In addition, the increase in utilization of contingent labor has continued. Contingent and contract workers, freelancers and independent contractors are flooding the labor market in more numbers than ever before, a trend known as the “gig economy.” With this trend, the risks of non-compliance grow. The federal government is now eager to enact more stringent policies to ensure compliance with tax and regulatory standards. In particular, the United States Department of Labor is more focused on misclassification of workers and has heightened reactions to these cases. Businesses today cannot afford to overlook the importance of maintaining compliance in managing their contingent workforce. It is easy for an… [Read More]

How to Recruit The Right Talent and Avoid Hiring Catastrophes

Recruiting the right talent is essential to the success of a business, while bad hiring decisions are exceedingly expensive in terms of both time and money. Additionally, high employee turnover lowers morale and creates discouragement within a company. These hiring disasters could have been avoided and the lost resources could have been invested in the right candidate. To that end, companies like Google have adopted the “law of three” for interviewing candidates. This recruiting technique and ones like it are designed to avoid costly hiring mistakes.

The Rise of the Gig Economy

gig-economy

With the rise of what is now known as the “gig economy,” the job market is changing. The gig economy is an environment in which short-term, temporary work is preferred to traditional employment. This contingent workforce is utilized for single projects or tasks, employee absences, or field expertise. These workers are highly skilled, knowledgeable in their field, and ready to perform in a demanding environment. The benefits of this type of labor have been recognized by both employers and workers alike. The Gig Economy Offers Flexibility For the worker, the gig economy offers flexibility and diversity not found in the traditional job market. Many short-term engagements, such as consulting “gigs,” do not have a firm work schedule. Workers have newfound flexibility in completing these projects or tasks. This type of work also introduces the ability to diversify. A worker is no longer chained to one… [Read More]
