Your Trusted Partner for Employer of Record (EOR) Services in Ireland

What are the benefits of using Employer of Record Services?

An Employer of Record is a third-party organisation that legally employs your staff on your behalf while you retain full operational control over their work. In Ireland, EORs are particularly valuable for foreign companies or start-ups expanding into the Irish market.

1. Fast & Compliant Market Entry

• EOR providers can onboard employees in as little as 1–2 weeks.

• No need to set up a local entity.

• Ensures full compliance with Irish employment law, tax, and social insurance regulations from day one.

2. Tax Compliance & Payroll Administration

• The EOR acts as the legal employer in Ireland, managing:
  

• Payroll and tax withholdings

• PAYE (Pay As You Earn) remittances

• PRSI (social insurance)

• USC (Universal Social Charge)

• Statutory leave (e.g. annual leave, sick leave, maternity)

• Avoids risk of non-compliance or penalties from Revenue or WRC (Workplace Relations Commission).

3. Simplified HR

• The EOR handles:
  

• Employee benefits (health insurance, pension contributions)

• HR support and contract management

This allows your team to focus on operations and growth, not local employment admin.

4. Cost-Efficient Market Testing

• Ideal for companies exploring the Irish market without committing to a full company incorporation.

• Lower initial costs compared to setting up a subsidiary, hiring tax advisors, and managing local compliance internally.

5. Risk Mitigation

• The EOR assumes employer liability, protecting your business from:
  

• Employment disputes

• Misclassification risks

• HR non-compliance

In Ireland’s regulated environment, this significantly reduces legal exposure.

6. Supports Remote & Flexible Workforces

• EOR services make it easy to hire Irish talent remotely, even if your business has no physical presence in Ireland.

• Enables you to offer full employment benefits, improving talent acquisition and retention.

7. Scalability

• Easily scale your team up or down without the overhead of establishing or dissolving a legal entity.

• Especially useful for pilot teams, project-based work, or seasonal hiring.

What are the Alternatives? 

One alternative to EOR services is to incorporate an Irish Company. 

EOR services can be very helpful in certain circumstances where you simply want to hire an Irish resident employee. However, sometimes, setting up a new entity is the better option. While setting up a new Irish company involves a bit more work initially, it can have a number of major benefits.
