About the Company
- An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service provider that allows companies to legally hire and work with employees in foreign countries without establishing their own legal entity in that country.
- This is made possible through a legal arrangement where the EOR establishes its own legal entity in the country and hires employees on behalf of the client company.
- This arrangement offers a viable solution for companies that wish to expand their global reach without investing in setting up a legal entity in every country where they operate.

- Rippling is an equal opportunity employer.
