Global Employment Organization (GEO)

A global employment organization (GEO) is a third-party provider that assists businesses in employing workers in other countries by handling their legal, tax, and HR responsibilities on the company's behalf.

What services does a global employment organization provide?

Global employment organizations typically offer HR outsourcing and other services, including onboarding, local employment compliance, payroll processing, tax withholding, and benefits administration. They help businesses meet legal requirements in each country where their employees are based.

What are the benefits of partnering with a GEO for international expansion?

A GEO streamlines international expansion by reducing administrative complexity and accelerating the hiring process across multiple countries. It enables companies to enter new markets faster, mitigate legal risks, and focus on strategic growth.

Each country has its own set of rules and regulations that govern the relationship between employees and employers. A GEO helps businesses navigate these obligations. Apart from local labor laws and taxes, legal requirements often encompass employment contracts and benefits, termination rules, data protection, global compliance audits, and other related matters.
