Managing payroll, staying compliant, and supporting your employees are essential tasks—but they’re often more complicated and time-consuming than expected. Entrepreneurs and business owners across industries quickly realize that trying to handle HR and payroll internally can pull them away from what they do best: growing their business.

That’s where outsourcing makes all the difference.

Partnering with a third-party expert in EOR (Employer of Record) or PEO (Professional Employer Organization) services can help you reduce risk, avoid costly compliance mistakes, and give you back the time and resources to focus on your core operations.

EOR vs. PEO: What’s the Difference?

Although often used interchangeably, EOR and PEO models differ in key ways that can impact your business. Here’s what you need to know:

Employer of Record (EOR)

An EOR takes on full employment liability for your workforce. They handle:

• Payroll & benefits
• Onboarding & offboarding
• Local compliance & tax obligations
• Contractor management

Your EOR legally employs the workers you select—no need for your own entity in every location. Ideal for businesses hiring across state or international lines.

Professional Employer Organization (PEO)

A PEO acts as a co-employer—you still maintain employment liability. They assist with:

• Payroll & tax filing
• HR compliance & support
• Access to benefits programs

PEOs typically require a minimum of 5-10 employees, and your business must be registered in any location where you operate.
