PEO SERVICES IN ESTONIA

Our PEO Services in Estonia can help you make your expansion hassle-free and cost-effective, enabling you to start your Estonian business in days. With an advanced economy and innovative plans, Estonia is a place of growth and opportunities. The country is ranked as a leader in e-commerce, and as a member of the Eurozone and the EU, Estonia strongly focuses on trade, contributing significantly to the economy.

With the service sector a vital pillar and the energy, electronics, and telecommunications industries growing fast-paced, Estonia is a country with promising perspectives.

How does a Professional Employer Organisation work in Estonia?

Your business is not like any other, and we get that. Your international plans require solutions that match them, your goals, and your business strategy. Therefore, our PEO services in Estonia provide a consultative approach and a tailor-made solution because we know one size does not fit all.

A PEO works with Employer of Record (EOR) agencies. Our EOR agencies in Estonia enable you to operate staff in-country without worrying about HR (Human Resources) services, tax, payroll, hiring, firing, or adapting to Estonian regulations and employment laws changes. When you hire us as a PEO, we establish a contract between you and Bradford Jacobs. We also sign an employment contract with your new employee in Estonia. Although we function as your employee’s legal employer, they perform duties for your business as a part of your team.

Step 1: You want to deploy an existing employee or recruit new talent in Estonia.

Step 2: Once the candidate is selected, Bradford Jacobs steps in as their EOR through our Estonian entity. We guarantee compliance with employment contracts, payroll, HR, tax, required visas or work permits.

Step 3: Within a few days, your company will have an international presence in a new market, in a prime position, without the risks, hassle, or expenses of setting up your subsidiary.

Step 4: You will control the employee daily while we manage all work-related registration formalities. Our consultants inform your employee about their holidays, benefits, and entitlements policies.

Step 5: All approved declarations and completed timesheets are sent to us by the employee. We will invoice you, and once the payment is completed, we will deduct all contributions from the authorities and transfer the balance into the employee’s account.
