How Do PEOs and EORs Differ?

When deciding to expand into a new country through an HR outsourcing services provider, it is helpful to understand the differences between a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) and an EOR (Employer of Record). While these two options provide many of the same services, they differ in how they deliver these services to your employees.

• A PEO is a third-party company that offers HR services to your employees

• These may include payroll or benefits management

• An EOR is a third-party company that offers the same services as a PEO but it also hires your employees on your behalf
• In this way, the EOR takes on all liabilities and responsibilities related to employment

• In a PEO agreement, the contract is made between the companies, whereas with an EOR, the contract is made with the employee and directed by the client company

Depending on your situational requirements, INS Global offers both PEO and EOR services in Hungary. You can read our article on the differences here or contact our team of specialists today to learn more and see which service is best for you.
