What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record, or EOR, is the legal employer under an agreed local employment arrangement. It typically administers employment contracts, payroll, and statutory employment obligations, while the client directs day-to-day work. The exact responsibilities and permitted model depend on local requirements and the contract.
How does NAXT deliver these services?
NAXT works with global partners to shape and coordinate the engagement. Before onboarding, we confirm the local employing or payroll entity, partner roles, support arrangements, and contractual responsibilities. The delivery model is documented for the countries and services selected.
Which countries can NAXT support?
Share the countries, roles, headcount, and intended start dates in your enquiry. We confirm current service availability and local delivery arrangements before providing a proposal. Support for one country or service does not imply that every workforce service is available there.
What is the difference between EOR and payroll services?
An EOR arrangement identifies a local entity to act as the legal employer. Payroll services calculate and administer pay for an existing employer. Outsourcing payroll does not itself transfer the employment relationship or all employer obligations.
Can we bring existing employees or contractors into the arrangement?
A transition starts with a review of the current relationship, contracts, employee communications, continuity requirements, and local process. Contractor-to-employee changes and employer transfers need individual assessment. We agree a transition plan before making commitments to workers.
How long does onboarding take?
Timing depends on country feasibility, documentation, contract review, right-to-work checks, benefits setup, and payroll cut-offs. We establish the target date and dependencies during discovery rather than promise a universal onboarding time.
Does EOR remove every employment or tax risk?
No. An EOR is an employment model, not a blanket exemption from local rules or business obligations. Employment, tax presence, intellectual property, data protection, and immigration questions may need separate specialist review for the proposed arrangement.
Are recruitment and immigration services included?
Candidate sourcing, background screening, equipment logistics, visa support, and immigration advice are separate scope items. Tell us what you need; availability, qualified-provider involvement, timelines, and fees must be confirmed in the proposal.
