Overview

What is an Employer of Record — and why does it matter?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a company that becomes the legal employer of your worker in a foreign country. Zyltex employs your hire under our locally registered entities — handling employment contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, and tax compliance — while the employee works exclusively for you day-to-day. You get the talent you want, wherever they are, without the legal and administrative overhead of international expansion.

Process

How Zyltex EOR works — from offer to onboarded in days

01

Tell us who you want to hire

Share the candidate's name, location, role, salary and start date. We'll confirm the country's requirements and give you a cost breakdown including employer taxes and benefits.

02

We prepare a compliant employment contract

Zyltex drafts a locally compliant contract, including all statutory terms. You review and approve, then we send it to the employee for digital signature — typically within 24 hours.

03

Employee is onboarded onto our payroll

The employee is enrolled into local payroll, registered with the relevant tax and social security authorities, and added to the correct benefits scheme — all before their first day.

04

Ongoing management, fully handled

From payslips and pay rises to leave approvals and compliance updates, Zyltex manages the ongoing employer responsibilities so you can focus on the work.

We needed a senior engineer in Germany and our legal team said incorporating would take six months. Zyltex had them onboarded and on payroll in eight days. The compliance support throughout the whole process was exceptional.

FAQ

Employer of Record — common questions.

Zyltex is the legal employer on paper. We are registered with local labour authorities and are responsible for employment law compliance. Your worker performs their daily duties entirely for you — the EOR relationship is a legal and administrative structure, not a staffing arrangement.

Yes — transparency is important. The employee's contract is with Zyltex, and this is disclosed. In practice, the day-to-day experience for the employee is indistinguishable from direct employment with your company.

Yes. If you decide to open a local entity, Zyltex can transfer the employee to your direct payroll. We handle the transition, including transfer of service continuity and benefits.

Rules vary by country. In most markets there is no formal time limit on EOR arrangements. A small number of jurisdictions apply temporary work rules — our team will flag any such restrictions for your specific hires.

EOR is priced per employee, per month, with transparent fees that include payroll processing, compliance management and benefits administration. Employer taxes and statutory contributions are billed at cost with no markup. Contact us for a quote for your specific countries.
