03What CareerBuddy's EOR covers
The EOR is the legal employer of record in-country. It issues the local contract, withholds and remits PAYE, pays statutory employer contributions, administers leave and benefits, and manages termination to the local notice and severance rules.
- Compliant local employment contract in the local language where required
- PAYE withholding and monthly statutory filings
- Pension, social security and levies remitted on schedule
- Termination handled to local notice and severance law
04Recruitment and EOR on one contract
Most EOR providers only employ people you already found. CareerBuddy can find the person and employ them — the shortlist, the offer and the payroll run through one commercial relationship, which is the difference that matters when you are opening a market for the first time.
