Hiring models

Start with the work you need done, where the person will work and who is ready to employ them. This collection explains the EOR model and compares it with US PEO services, independent contracting and your own local entity. The guides cover responsibilities, classification questions and complete-cost comparisons, including an editable entity break-even model, to help you assess which arrangement fits before choosing a provider or comparing its fee.
