Payroll, statutory benefits, leave, insurance and co-working for every team member, in every country. Gloroots runs the daily operations as your legal employer, so you manage people, not paperwork.
Global benefits administration is enrolling employees in the benefits each country requires, plus any extras you offer, then paying contributions and keeping records. Workforce operations covers the rest of the monthly routine: payroll, leave and expenses. Gloroots runs both as your legal employer in 150+ countries and carries the compliance risk for employees hired through its EOR.

EOR vs. managing it yourself
An EOR suits countries where you have no entity. Your own setup suits a large, permanent team in one country.

Talk to a Benefits ExpertStatutory benefits are the benefits a country's law requires employers to provide, such as pension, health insurance, unemployment insurance and paid leave. They differ in every country. As your legal employer, Gloroots enrolls employees and pays the contributions.
Statutory benefits are required by law. Supplemental benefits are optional extras an employer adds, such as private health, life and disability insurance or co-working memberships. Gloroots administers both on one platform.
Global benefits administration is enrolling employees in required and optional benefits across countries, calculating contributions, paying insurers and authorities, and keeping records. Gloroots does this on one platform in 150+ countries.
The Employer of Record, as the legal employer, carries the statutory obligation, and you fund the cost. Gloroots enrolls employees, calculates and pays contributions and keeps the records. For employees hired through its EOR, Gloroots carries the compliance risk.
Yes. Gloroots offers health, life and disability insurance, pensions and co-working memberships, tailored by country and role. Packages follow local law and what employees in that market expect.
Contractors are not employees, so statutory employee benefits usually do not apply to them. Where applicable, Gloroots can extend benefits to contractors.
Gloroots EOR starts at $199 per employee per month. Your total cost also includes salary, employer contributions and the benefits you choose, which vary by country. Your quote shows these costs.
With Gloroots EOR, onboarding typically takes 3 to 5 working days once the required documents are complete, and benefits administration is part of it. Timing depends on the country and the plan.
No. Startups and scale-ups use Gloroots to offer competitive benefits without managing a separate vendor in each country.
