The Danger of Misclassification
Hiring "contractors" who function as full-time employees can lead to "Permanent Establishment" issues, back-tax penalties, and legal disputes. Our EOR model protects your business from these liabilities by ensuring every staff member is hired under a strict, locally compliant employment contract.
