PEO, EOR, GEO: what is the difference?

 

PEO (Professional Employer Organization), EOR (Employer of Record), and GEO (Global Employment Outsourcing) services offer companies the opportunity to outsource HR tasks and responsibilities to a third party. These services are particularly beneficial for companies that want to focus on their core activities and outsource complex and time-consuming HR tasks to a local expert who understands how to operate in the target country. This saves time and resources and ensures that the company operates responsibly and complies with all local labor laws and regulations.

PEO (Professional Employer Organization)
In the PEO model, an EOR (Employer of Record) is the registered employer of the workers and takes on all the legal responsibility, giving the customer company opportunity to focus more on its core business.

As an example, the employee can be either a Finnish employee living in Finland who works remotely for your foreign company or your foreign candidate whom you want to place to work in Finland for a specific project. If your company intends to establish a permanent office in Finland, while establishing the office, your employees can already work for you through Econia's PEO services.

EOR (Employer of Record)
As an EOR, Econia hires your international talent on your behalf and becomes their legal employer in Finland. We take care of duties related to the employment relationship, such as onboarding, employment contracts, statutory insurances, occupational health care, payroll, taxes and ensure compliance with local labor laws and regulations.

GEO (Global Employment Outsourcing)

Both PEOs and GEOs relieve companies from certain HR and payroll duties to varying extents, ensuring there are no compliance risks. However, GEOs offer a more complete solution for hiring international employees, particularly if you are planning a global expansion.
