INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYER OF RECORD PAYROLL
Working on an Employer of Record (EoR) basis means Binks Overseas becomes the in-country employer. We handle all employment contracts and take responsibility for the employment.
This is an excellent option for companies who don't have the capacity to establish their own in-country entity and to ensure compliance with local tax and employment laws.
Because we use a combination of internally managed payroll and outsourced payroll partners who are specialists in employment and tax laws in-country we can ensure local compliance.
Our knowledgeable team are experienced in using specialist payroll software which report electronically to the relevant tax authorities.
