    FAQ

    Common questions about EOR employment in India.

    When should a company use EoR services?
    EoR services are ideal for quickly entering new markets. By having a third party manage employment-related tasks, you can reduce setup costs and minimise liability.
    What types of employees can be hired through a PEO/EoR service?
    Both local and expatriate employees can be hired and managed through PEO/EoR services.
    Can I still manage and direct my employees in India using a PEO or EoR?

    Yes, you can still manage and direct your employees in India using a PEO or EoR. While the PEO or EoR handles HR functions, payroll and compliance, you retain control over your employees’ daily tasks, performance and strategic direction. This arrangement allows you to focus on core business activities while the PEO or EoR ensures that all employment-related administrative and legal requirements are met.

    Do PEO/EoR services assist expatriate employees?
    PEO/EoR services handle visa processing, work permits and other immigration matters to ensure compliance and seamless onboarding for expatriate employees.
    What is the difference between a PEO and an EoR in terms of hiring full-time workers vs. temporary employees/contractors?
    A PEO and an EoR both offer HR outsourcing solutions but cater to different employment needs. A PEO is ideal for hiring full-time workers, while an EoR is often the better option for hiring temporary employees or contractors.
