Own entity or local partner
An EOR either employs your hire through its own local company or through a partner it contracts. With its own entity, the provider controls payroll and compliance directly; with a partner, a third company is the legal employer.
ADP does not publicly name its employing entities, so we cannot show where it employs directly.
Multiplier publicly documents its own employing entity in 2 countries (India and Canada).
Only entities with a public source (a registry record or the provider’s own legal documents) are counted. A provider can have more entities than it publishes.
What the fee difference adds up to
ADP does not publish an EOR price, so only Multiplier's published fee can be totalled here. Ask ADP for a written quote at your team size before comparing.
