When Employment of Record is the right entry route

Setting up an employing entity for a two-year assignment is rarely justified, but engaging people informally creates real exposure — misclassification, unpaid statutory contributions and unenforceable contracts.

Employment of Record resolves this by placing the employment relationship with a compliant local employer while day-to-day direction of the work stays with the client.

The decision usually turns on duration, headcount and whether the market is part of a longer-term strategy. Where it is, an entity may still be the right answer.
