What Is Global Employment Compliance?

Global employment compliance means following each country's employment rules for everyone you hire there: contracts, payroll tax, social security, benefits, leave and exits. As the legal employer in 150+ countries, Gloroots handles these rules and carries the compliance risk for employees hired through its EOR.

Why it gets complicated

What Makes Global Expansion Complex?

Every country has its own rules. These slow companies down most.

Legal & compliance

A local employment contract that follows that country's labour law and any sector agreement.

Getting one of these wrong can delay a hire by weeks or lead to fines later.

How Gloroots helps

How Does Gloroots Help Companies Expand Internationally?

Gloroots becomes the legal employer in your new country. You choose the people and run the work. We handle what the law requires.

Hire before you incorporate

Gloroots signs a local contract with your hire, reviewed by our legal team. Your first hire can start in 3 to 5 days.

Know the full cost upfront

Before you make an offer, see the monthly cost per person: salary, employer contributions and the Gloroots fee.

Make offers that get accepted

Gloroots advises on the benefits local candidates expect, which can decide the hire in markets like Japan and China.

Stay compliant every month

Gloroots runs payroll, files taxes and registers benefits in each country, and carries the compliance risk.

Add countries on one platform

Every new country runs on the same platform and the same monthly invoice. No new vendor for each country.

Exit cleanly if plans change

If a market doesn't work, Gloroots ends the employment under local law, with proper notice and final pay. There's no company to shut down.

EOR vs. your own entity

Should You Use an EOR or Set Up Your Own Entity?

An EOR suits new markets and small teams. Your own entity suits a large, permanent team in one country.
