When considering a partnership with a PEO in Belize, you will likely also hear the term EOR (Employer of Record). Typically, the two terms are largely interchangeable based on the kind of services they offer. The main difference between the two is the level of liability taken on by the PEO/EOR and the parties involved in the agreement.
