Overview
The Employer of Record (EOR) model enables your organization to engage talent in countries where you do not maintain a legal entity. In this arrangement, Globalli as the EOR, serves as the legal employer for administrative and compliance purposes, while your organization directs the employee’s day-to-day work.
This article explains responsibilities under the EOR model and how to guide your employees.

How the EOR Model Works
When engaging workers through an EOR:
The EOR hires the individual locally
The EOR manages payroll, taxes, and statutory compliance
Your company directs the employee’s work activities
Employees integrate into your team operationally
This structure allows compliant global hiring without establishing local entities.
