What is the difference between PEO and Employer of Record Services in Bangladesh?

When considering expanding your business into Bangladesh through a third-party service provider, EOR and PEO are both potential yet distinct options that can help you achieve your global expansion strategy.  

A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) takes charge of a wide array of human resources tasks, encompassing payroll management, tax compliance, and contract administration. It operates as a strategic HR partner, providing essential support for your workforce needs. 

In contrast, an EOR (Employer of Record) bears similarities to a PEO but holds the legal authority to hire and manage employees on your behalf, simplifying the entire process. 

With a PEO, the employment contract is directly established between you and the employee, while the PEO firm assists with HR tasks. 

Conversely, with an EOR, you maintain control over the direction of the employment contract, but it is legally structured between the EOR and the employee, imparting an additional layer of legal protection.
