Frequently asked questions
What is an employer of record?
An EOR employs your staff legally in their country, handling payroll, tax, benefits, and local compliance, while you direct the work.
Deel or a PEO?
They solve different problems. Deel handles cross-border employment; a PEO consolidates US HR administration and benefits. Companies often use both.
