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.
Payoneer Workforce Management publicly documents its own employing entity in 1 country (Netherlands).
RemoFirst names a local partner as the employer in 34 countries.
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
Both publish the same starting EOR fee, so the choice comes down to coverage, service and the fees below the headline.
