Got questions?

We’ve got answers

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that becomes the legal employer of your employee in a given country, even when you don’t have a local entity there.

You typically need an EOR when:

  • You want to hire in Portugal without setting up a local company
  • A key employee wants to relocate, but you’re not ready to incorporate
  • Your ideal hire prefers to stay in their current country
  • Opening an entity for one or two hires doesn’t make financial or operational sense

An EOR allows you to hire quickly, legally, and with minimal risk, while staying focused on your business objectives.

As your Employer of Record in Portugal, we assume full legal responsibility for the employment relationship, including:

  • Drafting and managing compliant employment contracts
  • Employee registration with the authorities
  • Payroll processing and payslip management
  • Taxes and social security obligations
  • Mandatory benefits and labour law compliance
  • Holiday, absence, and leave management
  • Offboarding processes and legal documentation

You manage the operational work, while we manage the employment.

Pricing is fully transparent and typically structured as:

  • The employee’s gross salary
  • Plus a fixed monthly EOR fee

This model ensures predictable costs, no hidden fees, and full clarity on your employment investment.

Yes. Our Employer of Record (EOR) model is fully compliant with local labour law, tax regulations, and social security requirements. We continuously monitor legal changes to ensure your employment setup remains compliant over time.

You are fully responsible for:

  • Work scope and delivery
  • Performance management
  • Goals, priorities, and feedback
  • Integration into your team and culture

We remain responsible for:

  • Employment compliance
  • Payroll and HR operations
  • Legal and administrative obligations

This separation keeps accountability clear and risk controlled.

We ensure long-term stability through:

  • Active people management throughout the engagement
  • Clear alignment on scope, expectations, and priorities
  • Continuous performance and well-being follow-up
  • Strong consultant experience and local HR support

Stable teams reduce churn, protect delivery, and lower long-term costs.

Yes, for sure. If opening a local entity later makes strategic sense, we can transfer employees to your company. Many clients use EOR as a proof-of-value model, allowing them to:

  • Validate technical skills on the job
  • Assess cultural and team fit
  • Reduce hiring risk before committing long-term

You decide if (and when) that transition happens.

Absolutely. EOR often works best when combined with:

  • Outsourcing for delivery acceleration
  • Nearshore teams for scale and time-zone alignment
  • BOT models for long-term market entry

We help you choose and combine the right model based on your growth stage and goals.
