Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between EOR and AOR?
An AOR acts as an administrative intermediary, handling tasks like classification, payments, and basic compliance for independent contractors (ICs).
An EOR acts as the legal employer for tax purposes. They handle all payroll, taxes, benefits (if applicable), and employment-related liabilities for the worker. An EOR can handle both independent contractors and employees, while AOR focuses on ICs.
What is an Agent of Record (AOR)?
An Agent of Record is a third-party company that businesses partner with to hire and manage independent contractors. They assist with the administrative tasks associated with independent contractors, such as payroll processing, tax withholding, and ensure correct classification. This frees up the business from the administrative burden of managing each contractor themselves, allowing them to focus on core business activities.
Who are AOR services for?
AOR services are primarily targeted towards businesses that utilize independent contractors (often called freelancers) in their workforce. They are ideal for businesses that:
- are looking to expand globally and work with remote talent
- want to pass on administrative tasks, such as onboarding, payroll and candidate screening
- require up-to-date knowledge of complex labor laws and regulations, but don’t possess in-house legal expertise
- wish to access a wider pool of qualified independent contractors that AORs can provide.
