Everything else you're wondering

Which countries can you employ someone in, and is it your own entity or a partner’s?
We can employ people in 200+ locations. In our core markets we do this through our own local entities; elsewhere we work with vetted local partners. Either way your employee gets a compliant local contract, local payroll and the full statutory benefits their country requires. The difference affects speed and cost, so we tell you which applies to your country before you commit, not after. Ask us for the current country list and we will send it the same day.

What does it cost in total, on top of salary?
Our EOR fee is a flat monthly amount per employee, starting from $200 depending on the country. On top of that you pay the employee’s gross salary and the employer taxes and social contributions their country requires, which we calculate and remit on your behalf. There is no setup fee, no minimum term, and nothing to pay for months when nobody is employed. Employer costs vary widely by country, commonly adding around 20 to 35 percent to gross salary, so we quote your actual case rather than publishing an average that will not match your invoice.
plus icon
How fast can you onboard someone?
If the person already has the right to work in the country, onboarding usually takes about five working days once we have their details and a signed agreement. Tell us the country and the person’s current status and we will give you a real date rather than a range.
plus icon
Who is the legal employer, who carries the risk, and who looks after the employee day to day?
You sign one agreement with Kleos. Your employee signs a local employment contract with the Kleos entity or partner entity in their country, so they are legally employed by us, not by you. We run payroll, withhold and remit income tax and social contributions, and apply local rules on notice and termination. If an employment dispute arises, the contract sits with us, and so does the exposure.

Your employee keeps a normal employment record, which means they can produce the documents they need for a mortgage, a visa or a tenancy. They also get a named contact at Kleos rather than a ticket queue. Absence and time off are handled by that contact today, with self-serve tracking in the platform on the roadmap.
