What does an Employer of Record do?

An Employer of Record legally employs a specialist on behalf of your company in the relevant country. The EOR setup covers the employment contract, payroll, required deductions, and local administration, while your company manages the person’s daily work.

No. EOR allows you to employ a specialist in another country without opening your own entity there. Availability and the exact setup depend on the country, local requirements, and the employment arrangement needed.

Your company manages goals, tasks, workload, communication, and performance. MWDN or an approved local partner handles the legal employment and administrative responsibilities included in the EOR agreement.

Yes. You can bring an existing candidate or retain a current team member who needs employment in another country. Candidate search can also be added when you have chosen the market but not the specialist.

The cost normally includes the employee’s salary, required employer costs, payroll administration, and the EOR service fee. The exact structure depends on the country, compensation package, local obligations, and agreed support.

The timeline depends on the country, document readiness, contract terms, and any local checks required. MWDN confirms the expected schedule after reviewing the candidate, location, salary, and planned start date.
