Question 1

What is an employer of record (EOR)?

Accepted Answer

An employer of record (EOR) company helps businesses hire employees in other countries without setting up a local legal entity. The EOR becomes the legal employer, handling local payroll, taxes, access to benefits, and compliance, while your company keeps full control over hiring decisions and day-to-day work. With Justworks EOR, you also get built-in compliant workflows, in-house expert guidance, and a direct partner in every market we support.

As you employ international team members, Justworks EOR acts as a strategic partner by providing local HR and legal expertise. Your company continues to make all hiring decisions and manage employees’ day-to-day responsibilities, while we handle payroll, benefits administration, and compliance. Because Justworks owns and operates entities in every market we support, your team works directly with our in-house experts—backed by award-winning support and a guaranteed 24-hour response time.

How much does Justworks EOR cost per month?

Question 7

What’s the difference between EOR and International Contractor Payments?

Accepted Answer

Justworks EOR enables companies to hire, pay, and provide access to benefits for full-time employees around the world. Justworks International Contractors lets companies pay contractors globally in their local currency or in USD. When paid in USD, contractors can receive payments to virtual wallets, like Wise, or a U.S. bank account. Read more about how to pay international contractors.

Question 8

Are there additional charges for international contractor payments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. International contractor payments are priced separately from EOR at $39 per active paid contractor per month. You're only charged during months when a contractor is paid. Fees can vary depending on the currency and payment method. For USD payments made via ACH credits to virtual wallets or U.S.-based bank accounts, there's no exchange forward rate.
