No, that’s the main benefit of an Employer of Record (EOR). SyncTalents becomes the legal employer, handling all local compliance, payroll, and statutory requirements. You maintain full control over the employee’s day-to-day work and can start hiring immediately without setting up a legal entity.

With EOR, the worker is a legal employee with full benefits, statutory protections, and tax withholding. With contractors, they remain independent and handle their own taxes and benefits. EOR is best for long-term, full-time roles, while contractors work well for project-based or flexible engagements. We help you choose the right model based on your needs and local regulations.
