How do PEO services apply to Payroll and Tax?

Tax systems and Payroll in a foreign country can be extremely complicated. You might not be familiar with the language or certain rules and regulations in a new country, and it is a time-consuming process to get around these. A Professional Employer Organization takes full responsibility for this. We have a team of experts in every country that can take care of:

  • Taxes
  • Social Security
  • Pension Payments
  • Monthly Pay
  • Other legal requirements of your employee

What is the difference between PEO and HR?

HR (Human Resource) is your in-house team or manager that handles employment in your home country. We as a PEO form your international support. Our Talent Acquisition Team can help you with finding the best talent, employing this talent, onboarding, and managing your global employees on a contractual level. Our Talent Acquisition team is passionate about creating a match between you and new employees. We believe that employees are the foundation of a company and we want to see you conquer new markets and thrive with the right talents by your site.

Who should use a Global PEO?

It does not matter what kind of business you are in. A Global PEO can benefit any company – of any size or industry. The most important part is: Do you have global expansion goals and dreams? If so, we can support you. The reason we support companies like yours is that we believe all businesses can thrive through global expansion. However, red tape is often an obstacle and we want to cut through this for you and accelerate the process. All of our clients see an international future for their company and use our Global Professional Employer Organization services in their own way. They:

  • are looking for opportunities in global expansion within five years.
  • want to test new potential markets
  • found international talent and need a quick set-up abroad.
  • are ambitious about going global, but do not have the financial back-up or resources yet.
  • or they look for a solution between the set-up of their new entity and their acquisition close date.

Whatever your reasons are, we love to hear from you! To many business owners, their company feels like their baby. It is not something you play around with and we are aware of this. It is our mission to support you by taking care of the aspects that stand in your way during your path to new opportunities. Did you know that:

Does a PEO arrange visas or relocations?

As your PEO we do not just perform the required tasks; we are also your strategic partner. We anticipate every step of your journey to achieving your goal. As part of the recruitment and onboarding process, we can support you with the required visas for employees, and relocation of your home country employees is possible as well. For us, as your trusted partner, it is important to provide tailored service now, but also in the future. We are proud to say that we have seen many of our clients prosper and grow through global expansion. A growing business is also a changing business and we are prepared to adapt our services to your circumstances at any point.

What happens when a PEO does not comply with local laws?

When you take us on as your PEO, we become fully responsible for applying the local laws. You are risk-free. When a PEO does not follow local regulations compliantly, only the Professional Employer Organization company will be accountable. Global expansion is an exciting journey, and we want this journey to go smooth and quick by taking care of the parts in which we excel. With our legal team monitoring international developments and specific country laws and regulations, we can ensure you that all paperwork and contracts are fully compliant with a country’s requirements.

  • The short answer is increased risk and the chance of steep fines or penalties. In many countries, Employee Misclassification is a serious legal offense. For example, even though they may be a contractor, if you provide them with sufficient work for 5 days a week, that can lead to you being their only client and they can no longer be classified as a contractor or consultant. This is where, as an EOR, we can confirm that an employee’s ongoing status is 100% compliant with the complex legalities of each country.

  • Yes. Becoming your EOR, as part of our PEO services, we’ll handle all the finer details of payroll, from ensuring monthly payment to deducting taxes and pension payments as the local employment laws require

  • Within 24 hours. As soon as we know your company’s goals for global expansion and the PEO services that will most benefit you, we can draw up a mutual contract and get to work.

  • Our expert PEO services have supported all kinds of clients in various industries around the world, from Legal to Software. If you’re looking for a Global PEO, we can help you.

However, these employees are still legally employed by your company and come to you for day-to-day management – we just take care of all the local processes like payroll and benefits, so that you don’t have to.

  • Should you need to unexpectedly terminate the contract in the case of an emergency or the necessity to put employees on furlough, you pay a deposit.

HR administration and in-house HR resources: International PEO is a way to employ people without having your own “company” in the country. In some countries, it is also a way of cooperating around the administration of the employment contracts between the employing company, an administrative company, and the employee. This cooperation is also referred to as Agency Employment, Out staffing, White-label, or Co-Employment.

  • PEO employment is a term that may be used to refer to your employment process overseas, with your expert PEO acting as your Employer of Record (EOR). In laymen’s terms, the PEO handles the risk and paperwork, while you reap the benefits of 100% compliant expansion.

  • Spending less money
  • Taking less time
  • Reducing risks
  • 100% compliance, anywhere in the world
  • The first step in international success, for businesses of all sizes
  • Ability to test new markets internationally
