Factors Influencing EOR Costs
- EOR Setup: This one-time fee covers the cost of contract preparation, employee on boarding, and payroll profile setup.
- Refundable Security Deposit: To ensure compliance, EOR providers often require an initial deposit equivalent to the employee's notice period pay. This deposit is refunded upon the termination of the employment contract, once all dues are settled.
- Employee’s Salary and Additional Liabilities: Employers must pay the employee's salary and any local employer costs, such as social security and unemployment insurance. EORs handle these payments, ensuring compliance with local laws.
- Supplementary Employee Benefits: Some countries require employers to provide mandatory benefits. EORs can also manage supplementary benefits to remain competitive in attracting talent.
- EOR Service Fee: EORs charge a service fee on top of the setup fee. This fee varies based on the provider and the employee's salary. It's important to clarify all factors contributing to the final billing with the EOR provider.
- Currency Exchange Fees: EORs help businesses manage currency fluctuations and ensure employees are paid accurately worldwide.
EOR vs. Local Entity in Kenya – Cost-Benefit Comparison
- Time Required: Setting up a local entity can take 2-6 months, while EOR services can be set up in as little as three days.
- Capital Requirement: Setting up a local entity involves significant capital outlay for registration, compliance, and other legal fees. EOR services, by contrast, involve a one-time setup fee and ongoing service fees.
- Legal Compliance: Local entities must align with various employment laws and regulations, which can be complex and time-consuming. EORs handle full compliance, reducing the risk for employers.
- Taxation: Local entities must navigate various taxes, including income, property, and profit taxes. EOR service fees typically include all relevant taxes, simplifying the financial management for businesses.
