Deep perspectives on HR operations architecture, payroll risk management, and organizational governance for growing companies.
Think VAT is just a pass-through cost? Think again. For US companies, the 3-6 month refund lag creates a massive working capital deficit that EOR sales teams rarely mention.
Granting US stock options to international EOR employees? You might be triggering immediate tax bills for them before they even vest. Here is why "Phantom Stock" is often the safer bet.

Is your salary offer "inclusive" or "exclusive" of the 13th month? Getting this wrong in countries like the Philippines or Brazil can instantly inflate your payroll costs by 8.33%.
In cross-border employment, "Work for Hire" does not always apply. We explain why the "Employee → Local EOR → Master EOR → Client" chain often breaks, leaving your IP vulnerable.
