Employer of Record for International Hires
Hire people in countries where you do not have the local employment infrastructure in place. Through an Employer of Record arrangement, the worker can be employed locally while you retain responsibility for their role, priorities and day-to-day work.
HOW THE SOLUTION
WORKS
The location, role, start date, compensation, working arrangement and wider business requirement established from the outset.
The circumstances reviewed to establish whether EOR is an appropriate option or whether payroll or another employment structure would better fit the requirement.
The agreed EOR structure, documentation, payroll and benefits coordinated ahead of the employee's start.
Payroll, agreed employment administration and employee support continue for as long as the EOR arrangement remains in place.
You have found the person. They are in a country where your business is not set up to employ them. Establishing an entity for one hire or a small team may not make commercial sense.
An Employer of Record provides another route.
• Hiring in a country where you do not have a local employing entity
• Testing a new market before committing to permanent setup
• Employing one person or a small international team
• Hiring while local infrastructure is still being established
• Moving contractors into an employment arrangement where appropriate
• Businesses that need employment infrastructure alongside international recruitment

International hiring can move faster than corporate infrastructure. An EOR creates a local employment structure around the worker without requiring the client to establish its own entity first. Akkar keeps employment, payroll and employee support connected through one human-led relationship.
What this Engagement Delivers?
The worker is employed through the agreed Employer of Record arrangement, while remaining operationally embedded within your organisation.
Employment agreements and onboarding documentation coordinated around the country, role and agreed employment structure, with appropriate local specialist input where required.
You manage the person's work, priorities and day-to-day relationship. The EOR structure handles the agreed local employment administration around them.
Salary, statutory deductions and agreed payroll requirements administered through the local employment arrangement.
Applicable statutory and agreed employee benefits coordinated according to the country and employment package.
Employment documentation, required checks, payroll details and benefit arrangements prepared before the employee starts.
The client and employee have a human contact for agreed employment, payroll and administrative questions throughout the arrangement.
Salary changes, contract updates, role changes and other agreed employment requirements coordinated as circumstances evolve.
If you later establish your own employing entity, Akkar can support the coordination required to move employees away from the EOR arrangement.
Need to employ someone where you do not have a local entity?
A first conversation will help establish the country, the worker, the employment requirements and whether EOR is the right route.
