This list ranks Employer of Record providers that run a compliant EOR in the United States by our Select Score, a data-driven rating that weighs pricing, compliance depth, support quality, and platform capability. Each provider on this list acts as the legal employer for your US-based hires, handling payroll, federal and state tax filings, statutory benefits, and employment compliance. No entity setup in the United States is required on your part.

Selection criteria: providers that operate an EOR in the country, ranked by Select Score. The ranking is produced by the Select Score algorithm and recalculated as provider data and reviews change, so positions can shift over time.

## FAQ

### Do I need a US entity to hire an employee in the United States?

No. An Employer of Record becomes the legal employer in the United States on your behalf, so you can hire without incorporating or registering a business entity in any US state. You direct the employee's day-to-day work while the EOR handles all legal employer obligations.

### What does a US EOR typically cost?

Pricing across the market generally starts from a few hundred dollars per employee per month for flat-fee models, while percentage-of-salary models vary based on the employee's compensation. Always confirm what is included, because benefits administration, workers' compensation, and state-specific filings are sometimes charged separately.

### Is using an EOR in the United States legally compliant?

Yes, provided the EOR is properly registered in the relevant states and meets all federal and state employer obligations, including payroll tax withholding, ACA benefits thresholds, and workers' compensation coverage. You should verify that any provider you shortlist holds the necessary state registrations and carries appropriate insurance.
