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.
Remote People does not publicly name its employing entities, so we cannot show where it employs directly.
Wisemonk publicly documents its own employing entity in 1 country (India).
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
Wisemonk's published EOR fee is $100 lower per employee per month. That is $1,200 a year for one hire and $12,000 a year for a team of ten, before any volume discount either provider negotiates.
