¿Qué es un EOR y qué es un PEO?

Tanto las PEO como las EOR son proveedores de terceros que ayudan a las empresas en las tareas laborales, de Recursos Humanos y de cálculo de nómina. En el caso de los acuerdos mediante PEO, se trata de una contratación conjunta. Es decir, tanto el proveedor de terceros como la empresa tienen peso en ciertas decisiones empresariales: el proveedor de terceros supervisa las decisiones relacionadas con RR. HH. y el cálculo de nómina, mientras que la empresa es más responsable de las tareas de gestión diarias.

Mientras tanto, en los acuerdos mediante EOR, la empresa intermediaria de contratación es quien contrata legalmente a los trabajadores y se encarga de toda la responsabilidad legal, dando a la compañía la oportunidad de centrarse más en su negocio principal.

¿Puedo contratar a empleados en otros países sin una EOR?

Sí. Para contratar empleados en otros países sin una EOR, puedes abrir una entidad local, aunque este proceso suele ser mucho más complicado y la responsabilidad legal será únicamente tuya si existe algún problema. En general, abrir una entidad local en vez de asociarse con una EOR es aconsejable cuando quieres expandirte en un país concreto y buscas contratar más empleados.  

¿Es la EOR es una buena solución para cualquier país?

La respuesta es: depende. Normalmente, es más sencillo abrir una EOR en países con normativas y legislación laboral más claras. Sin embargo, en otros países la situación puede ser mucho más compleja y las opciones de abrir una EOR pueden ser limitadas.  

¿Cuáles son las ventajas del modelo agregador?

When deciding to work with an Employer of Record, there are generally two options – one option is to work directly with the EOR. The other option is the aggregator model, where you work with an EOR provider who, in turn, works with a network of ICPs in different countries.

The wholly owned EOR model has gained a reputation as being the more reliable model of the two. However, for the most part, this tends to be a myth.

The right EOR provider puts the resources into assembling the best possible ICP network and in that way can offer peace of mind for the company. Plus, in this arrangement, there’s the assurance that the third-party provider is always on your side in cases of dispute with the EOR.
