Frequently asked questions
While setting up a local entity offers more control, using an Employer of Record in Puerto Rico is a faster, lower-risk way to hire and manage talent compliantly, especially when testing the market, scaling quickly, or building a small team without the cost and complexity of establishing an entity.
No, they are not the same, an Employer of Record (EOR) assumes full responsibility for your international workforce and compliantly manages onboarding, payroll, taxes, benefits, and other employment functions without a local entity, whereas a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) co-employs workers and shares responsibilities for payroll and HR, but requires the client to have a local entity in the country.
You can research various EORs and compare elements like local compliance expertise, services & support provided, customer reviews, value-added services (like talent discovery, work visas, background checks), EOR’s reputation, knowledge, experience and pricing structure.
Yes, Payoneer WFM can conduct background checks and facilitate work permits or visas for your employees, but these services are included as part of our EOR offering and are not available separately.
Payoneer Workforce Management (WFM) offers EOR services in 160+ countries, including Puerto Rico, and can therefore facilitate compliant onboarding of your foreign employees through Payoneer WFM’s local entities.
