The differentiator

What an EOR handles in Bolivia

An EOR removes the entity and the payroll machinery. It does not remove your obligations as the people manager.

Payroll, tax & social security● fullGross-to-net, statutory withholding and employer contributions remitted locally. Employer social security here is 16.71% and a 13th salary is mandatory.
