What are PEOs and EORs, and how do they Differ?

While researching PEOs, you will likely see they discussed alongside or with EORs. The two types of services offer many of the same functions but operate differently in the way they relate to the client.  

A PEO is a third party that offers HR services to employees of other companies. In a PEO agreement, the contract is made between the two companies.  

An EOR officially hires and takes charge of all elements of EOR for employees of other companies on their behalf. An employment contract is made between the employee and the EOR in this case.
