Employer of Record FAQs

Can you employ international workers without an EOR?
Yes, but it comes with challenges. You’d either need to set up your own legal entity in that country or hire workers as independent contractors—both options come with legal, financial, and compliance responsibilities.

Opening your own entity means managing everything—from legal filings to payroll, benefits, and compliance. That may work if you’re hiring at scale, but for smaller teams, an EOR is often more efficient and cost-effective.

Hiring contractors instead of employees increases your compliance risks, especially around contractor misclassification, which can lead to legal penalties. Ulla’s EOR solution helps reduce those risks by ensuring workers are legally employed and fully compliant.
What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a company like Ulla that legally hires and manages workers on your behalf in another country. You still manage the day-to-day work—Ulla handles everything else behind the scenes: payroll, taxes, compliance, contracts, and more.

Not all EORs operate the same way. Some, like Ulla, own legal entities in the countries we serve, giving you more control and faster setup. Others may rely on partners or intermediaries. Choosing the right EOR is essential for staying compliant and scaling with confidence.
What is the difference between a PEO and an EOR?
An EOR can legally employ people on your behalf in countries where you don’t have a legal presence. A PEO (Professional Employer Organization), on the other hand, typically works with companies that already have a legal entity in the country.

Think of it this way:

If you need to hire in a country where you don’t have a local company set up → You need an EOR like Ulla.

If you already have an entity and just need help with HR, payroll, or benefits → A PEO may be enough.

Ulla offers full EOR services—so you can grow your global team without setting up local branches.
How much does an Employer of Record (EOR) cost?
EOR pricing typically comes in two forms: a flat monthly fee or a percentage-based model tied to the employee’s salary. At Ulla, we offer a simple, transparent flat-rate pricing structure, so you always know what to expect. Percentage-based pricing can fluctuate and often creates uncertainty, especially when employee salaries vary by location or role.

Ulla’s Employer of Record service is priced at $599 per employee/month when billed annually, or $699 monthly. There are no hidden costs, no surprise add-ons, and no long-term contracts required. It’s pricing designed to support your global team as you grow.
What are the responsibilities of an Employer of Record (EOR)?
Ulla acts as the legal employer for your international hires. This means we handle all the back-end responsibilities—like ensuring compliance with local labor laws, administering payroll and benefits, filing taxes, drafting compliant contracts, and overseeing local HR regulations. We take on the operational burden so you don’t have to.

You maintain control over the employee’s day-to-day work, performance, and collaboration. From your perspective, they’re just another team member. The only difference is that Ulla handles all the paperwork, legal responsibilities, and compliance behind the scenes—so you can scale globally without the headaches.
What is an EOR in payroll?
When it comes to payroll, Ulla—as your EOR—manages the entire payment process for your international employees. You simply fund the payroll, and we ensure that employees are paid accurately and on time in their local currencies. We also take care of tax withholdings, social security contributions, and other mandatory deductions based on local laws.

By working with Ulla, you can confidently manage a global payroll without needing to master the complexities of international tax codes and labor compliance. We bridge the gap between your business and local regulations, so you can focus on hiring the best talent, anywhere in the world.
How do you compare Employer of Record (EOR) services?
When evaluating EOR providers, it’s important to look beyond pricing. Consider how many countries they operate in directly, the range of services they offer (like payroll, benefits, compliance, and onboarding), and how thoroughly they support local labor law compliance in each region.

A key factor is whether the EOR owns its own legal entities in the countries you want to hire. If not, your team might be hired through third-party intermediaries—limiting your control and visibility. Ulla owns its own local entities, giving you greater security, consistency, and peace of mind.

Also, make sure your EOR offers strong intellectual property protections. Global hiring without proper IP safeguards can expose your business to legal risks and data privacy issues. Ulla prioritizes full data control, IP security, and compliance—ensuring all your employee documents are stored safely and managed under one platform.
Yes, using an EOR is completely legal in most countries. In fact, it’s one of the most effective ways to hire internationally without setting up a legal entity. The highest level of legal protection typically comes from EORs that own and operate their own entities—like Ulla—because they have direct control over compliance in each market.

Before choosing an EOR, always check that they operate directly in your target countries and are equipped to handle everything from taxes and payroll to benefits and stock options. If you’re unsure about when or why to use an EOR, Ulla can help guide you through the decision-making process with clarity and transparency.
