What Reddit really thinks about EOR providers

“We switched to Columbus EOR, and it’s been a good experience so far. They only charge around $179 per employee per month, which was a huge drop from what Deel and the others were quoting. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but they’ve been reliable and…”

“Human support is their biggest strength - no chatbots when you need help. Platform feels dated but handles custom contracts well. Proactive on compliance changes which saved us headaches.”

“Option 1 is not ruled out yet, but HR gave me the impression that it is not certain yet, due to the high cost for the company to hire me and pay taxes in Spain on my gross salary.”

“They screwed up my life insurance to the point I didn't have coverage for 2 years. I've been trying to get this fixed for the last 3 weeks and they keep 'thanking me for my patience'.”

“We’re considering using an EOR for hiring a remote employee in UK. Remote looks straightforward and handles payroll, compliance, and benefits automatically, but we’ve also explored smaller platforms like Papaya Global and Velocity Global.”

“Hi everyone, I’m based in Europe and looking to hire a person based in Johannesburg. Rather than setting up a South African company, I’m considering using an Employer of Record (EOR) service to handle contracts, payroll, and compliance.”

“The HR team told me that in order to do this, we need to write a resignation letter to safeguard and later on will be given a contract from oyster. AFAIK this is not normal?”

“Απαντούσα σε ένα post που έγινε νωρίτερα και μέχρι να τελειώσω την απάντησή μου, το post σβήστηκε. Σκέφτηκα ότι οι πληροφορίες μπορεί να βοηθήσουν κάποιον. Μερικά site που διαφημίζουν αποκλειστικά ή εν μέρη remote δουλειές: -…”

“Imam ponudu za rad s firmom koja me želi zaposlit preko Native Teams EOR (Employer Of Reference) servisa i mnogo sam zbunjena. Ovoj pravnoj bakici u ITju treba pomoć. Prvo, Native Teams je tražio da im slikam dokumente za ugovor o radu, aj dobro.”

“I've seen this question come up a lot and honestly "best" is the wrong starting point. the real question is what's your actual constraint? because if you pick based on brand recognition or a demo that wows you, you'll end up paying for features you don't need…”

“So we switched to Gusto but it glitched a few times and trying to get a hold of the support team was really painful and slow.”

“we were told that we switched over to a new PEO system (using some company called Justworks) and a mistake was made so none of us will be able to contribute to our 401Ks until 2023.”

“switched the eor from deel to workmotion and our test tooling off browserstack onto askui. both were their own pile of paperwork but they went through. bill's down. legal finally sleeps at night. nothing broke.”

“Their customer support reps are masters of giving you the run-around because they don't have power to do anything to fix the garbage app. Like Intuit, they're too big to care about your issues.”

“I'm on my 4th one in 3 years. The current guy takes 3-5 business days to respond to basic questions. Last week I needed to add a new earnings code for a shift differential and it took 8 days to get it done.”
