        Co-Founder & CEO, Anubis, Middle East & Africa

        The previous payout workflow in Egypt for our contractors required several manual steps every pay cycle. With Payoneer Workforce Management, much of the process is now streamlined. Uploading data, generating invoices, and processing payments can typically be completed much more efficiently. Since adopting the Payoneer Workforce Management platform, we’ve been able to reduce the time we spend on monthly payment operations and reallocate that bandwidth toward growing our business.

        Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

        An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs a client’s international workforce without a local entity and supports employment aspects such as onboarding, payroll, taxes, benefits, HR, office space and equipment, work visas and permits, background checks, and offboarding.

        An Employer of Record (EOR) offers a fast and compliant way to hire talent in new markets without establishing a local entity, helping businesses reduce time-to-hire, stay aligned with local laws, streamline payroll and benefits administration, mitigate risks, and keep internal teams focused on core operations while the EOR supports employment responsibilities.

        No, they are not the same. An Employer of Record (EOR) acts as the legal employer for an international workforce and supports onboarding, payroll, taxes, benefits, and other employment functions without a local entity, whereas a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) co-employs workers and shares responsibilities for payroll and HR but requires the client to have a local entity in the country.

        An Employer of Record (EOR) legally hires employees on behalf of a client and manages onboarding, payroll, taxes, compliance, benefits, work visas, equipment, and more, while a payroll company is limited to processing salary payments and basic tax withholdings without taking on legal employer responsibilities.

        Payoneer Workforce Management offers EOR services in 160+ countries and can facilitate compliant onboarding of foreign employees through its local entities and trusted partners.

        While setting up a local entity offers more control over operations, using an Employer of Record (EOR) is a quicker, lower-risk way to enter new markets, especially when you’re testing a region, scaling quickly, or hiring a small team. An EOR allows you to onboard and manage talent compliantly while reducing the complexity of setting up an entity and streamlining time and cost.

        The cost of an EOR depends on the provider and factors like the employee’s role, location, and salary, with most EORs charging either a flat monthly fee per employee or a percentage of the employee’s gross salary.

        It’s possible, but doing so requires navigating complex legal, tax, and compliance processes, which can be time-consuming, expensive, and risky. Using an EOR helps simplify this process and provides added compliance support.

        No, Payoneer Workforce Management is not a staffing agency. It offers EOR services, meaning we legally employ the workforce and support payroll, taxes, and benefits without a local entity, whereas a staffing agency acts solely as a recruiting partner without taking responsibility for employee management or compliance with local laws.

        Payoneer Workforce Management may conduct background checks and facilitate work permits or visas for international employees, but these services are included as part of our EOR offering and are not available separately. Contact our team for more information.
