Employer of Record Services.
Compliant from day one.

An Employer of Record (EoR) is a company that legally employs workers on your behalf. WorkGenius handles all employment responsibilities - contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance - while you manage the employee's day-to-day work. It lets you employ people compliantly without the administrative burden.

An EOR (Employer of Record) becomes the sole legal employer of your workers, so you don't need your own legal entity in that state or country. A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) uses a co-employment model and generally requires you to already have your own entity. In short: use an EOR to hire where you have no entity; use a PEO to outsource HR where you do. See the full EOR vs. PEO comparison →

A staffing agency finds and places temporary workers. An EoR employs workers on your behalf - often long-term. With WorkGenius, you choose the candidate and direct their work. We handle the legal employment, payroll, and compliance. The worker is dedicated to your team, not shared across clients.

Use an EOR when you want to hire employees in a state or country where you don't have a legal entity, convert contractors to compliant W-2 employees, test a new market before incorporating, or onboard a distributed team quickly - without building multi-state payroll and compliance in-house.

For most companies hiring across multiple states or countries, yes. Setting up and maintaining your own entities, multi-state payroll, tax registrations, and benefits is expensive and slow. An EOR gives you compliant employment in days for a predictable per-employee fee - usually far less than the cost and risk of doing it yourself.

In the US, we can typically have compliant employment contracts and payroll set up within days. For international hires that may require work permits or additional registrations, timelines vary - but we handle the entire process and keep you informed at every step.

Nothing changes day-to-day. You manage their work, set priorities, and run your team exactly as before. WorkGenius is the legal employer on paper - handling payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance behind the scenes. Your workers report to you, not to us.

Yes - this is one of the most common use cases. Our AI first assesses whether the worker should be classified as an employee based on IRS guidelines and state-specific rules. Then we handle the transition compliantly - new employment contract, benefits enrollment, payroll setup. The process is seamless for your workers.

WorkGenius EoR uses a transparent per-employee monthly fee. This covers payroll processing, compliance, tax filing, and benefits administration. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. For high-volume arrangements, we offer reduced rates. Contact our team for a custom quote based on your specific needs.
