The Difference Between PEO And Employer of Record Services in Bahrain
A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) in Bahrain assists with various human resources tasks, encompassing payroll management, tax handling, contract administration, and more. Think of it as having a strategic HR partner that supports your workforce needs.
On the other hand, an EOR (Employer of Record) bears similarities to a PEO but also holds the legal capacity required to hire and manage employees on your behalf, simplifying the process for you.
With a PEO in Bahrain, the employment contract is directly between you and the employee, while the PEO firm assists with HR tasks. In contrast, with an Employer of Record, you retain control over the employment contract, but it is legally structured between the Employer of Record and the employee.
