International PEO services - How it helps you scale up your business

Advanced technologies are helping businesses spread their wings beyond borders. In such circumstances, the system and structure become more complex to handle. Thus, it becomes necessary to hire people with specialized skills. They might not necessarily be the natives. 

 

Do you think that the process of hiring a workforce globally is different from hiring local employees? 

 

What makes it too difficult for companies to hire foreign employees?

  

It is because they are unaware of compliance regulations that directly impact the payroll process. Under such circumstances, what could be the possible solution? 

 

Well, a majority of businesses like to rely on and seek help from an International PEO.  

 

What is a PEO?

PEO is a short form of Professional Employer Organization. It is a third-party organization that performs a wide range of HR activities, as an external partner

 

A PEO service provider agrees to play the role of an administrative employer. It is noticeable that the organization remains a functional employer. It means that the hired foreign employee will work for an organization but its payroll will be run by the PEO. 

 

This makes it easier for the organization to add new employees from foreign locations. In short, the employees would work for the organization, but everything related to human resource management would be handled externally by the international PEO.

 

The role of PEO includes:

  • Recruitment and hiring
  • Compliance with local and international employment rules
  • Payroll administration
  • Benefits administration
  • Insurance
  • Outplacement support
  • Taxation
  • Safety programs
  • Health benefits
  • Leave management and salary administration
  • Providing Employer of Record solutions

 

PEOs enter into long-term and short-term contracts. This provides the necessary flexibility for the client. Thus, the client/organization can stop using their services after the completion of the agreed contract period.
