Frequently asked questions

• Is Teamed cheaper than Multiplier?+

  Not on the published base. Multiplier starts at $459 per employee per month billed annually ($499 billed monthly), and Teamed starts from $599, so on the headline Multiplier is lower. We say so. The headline leaves out the conversion cost, the deposit and pre-funding, the unpriced add-ons and implementation fee, and the exit terms. Multiplier publishes a base, but no conversion methodology. Teamed absorbs conversion at zero markup on the fee, in any currency pairing, and itemises every line. Get both sets of terms in writing, model them on the same basis, then decide. The point isn't that Teamed is lower. It's that you see the whole number.
• What is Ted?+

  Ted is Teamed's AI layer, built into the platform rather than bolted onto the front of it. It handles the routine, so you're seen fast. It learns from patterns across customers, so a problem solved once doesn't have to be solved again. It flags law changes and the crossover point before they reach you. Real people approve every outcome. The intent is that AI gets you to the right expert faster and catches issues while they're small, rather than standing between you and a human. You can always reach a person directly.
• How does Teamed handle in-country legal compliance?+

  In three layers, and it publishes the structure. First, Teamed's own legal entities, in 57 countries. Second, DLA Piper as global counsel, holding a consistent legal standard across borders. Third, specialist in-country partners on top, where a jurisdiction needs local depth. It's easy to own an entity. What actually protects you is the right legal and operational support behind it. Most providers describe coverage, but don't publish how it's delivered, so you can't tell whether a country is served by an owned entity or a partner.
• When should I move from EOR to my own entity?+

  The crossover point depends on headcount and entity costs in each country. As a rough guide, EOR stays more cost-effective than your own entity until the two costs cross, and where that point falls changes with the country, the entity setup cost and the local running costs. The calculator at /tools/crossover-calculator works it out for your markets. Above that, the cumulative per-seat fee approaches the fixed cost of a registered entity, a local director where needed, bookkeeping, and annual filings. Teamed models this crossover per country and flags the month your own entity gets cheaper. It then builds and runs the entity via GEMO in 100+ countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding of existing employees. Wherever you start, Teamed advises you on the model that fits.
• Can I switch from Multiplier to Teamed?+

  Yes. Most EOR contracts are month-to-month or carry a 30 to 90-day notice period. The harder part is the operational cutover: contract timing, payroll-calendar alignment, benefits continuity, and employee communications. Teamed runs phased cutovers, one country or one cohort at a time, so the overlap period is contained. Bring your current Multiplier invoice and MSA, and Teamed maps the cutover plan. Also ask Multiplier for the deposit figure per country before you set the date, because the cash-flow requirement during the notice period depends on the notice length and salary level in each market. Most switches complete in four to six weeks.
• How do Teamed and Multiplier compare on support?+

  Closely. Multiplier includes 24/5 support from local HR and legal experts and a customer success contact on every plan, including the entry tier, and is rated 4.7 on G2. Teamed gives direct access to HR and legal experts on all plans, assigned within 24 hours, and is rated 4.8 out of 5 on G2. The gap shows on the hard cases, and on what runs behind the humans. Ted handles the routine and flags law changes and the crossover point early, with people approving every outcome. For a contested exit or a jurisdiction you haven't hired in before, Teamed's model is the fit. For a modern self-serve experience at scale, Multiplier leads.
• What do teams look for when they move to a new EOR provider?+

  Most teams tell us the trigger is the support model, not the price. The things they list are practical. How fast a payroll question gets a clear answer. Whether payslips, contracts and tax papers arrive on the day they are due. Whether one person owns the account and knows the history, or each request starts again with someone new. Whether the answer is local to the country the employee works in. Speed counts most in the weeks around a pay run. A question about a deduction, a leave balance or a final payment has a deadline on it. If the reply lands after the run, the fix waits a month. Write your own list before you speak to anyone. Rank the three things that have cost you time this year. Then ask each provider to show you how it handles those three, with the person who will own your account and a response time in writing. At Teamed, a designated person will manage your account, with 24/5 human support behind them.
• How does moving a team in several countries at once work?+

  One country at a time, even when the whole group moves together. Each person needs a new local employment contract in their own country. So a group in six countries means six sets of paperwork, six sets of local rules and six start dates. Four things drive the timing. Notice on your current contracts, which is usually 30 to 90 days. Local notice and consultation rules, which differ by country. Leave balances, which have to be agreed and either carried across or paid out. And the effective date, which is best set to the first day of a pay period so nobody gets two part months. Line a few things up before you set that date. A list of every employee, country, salary and start date. Your current contracts and a recent invoice. Current leave balances and benefit cover. And anyone who is on notice, on leave, or part way through a visa or work permit. Most teams start with the simplest market, test the plan there, then move the rest in small groups.

• Teamed vs Multiplier, which is better for a company hiring across Europe?+

  For a company hiring across Europe, Teamed is the better choice over Multiplier if you want answers fast: a first response within 15 minutes, and real HR and legal experts assigned within 24 hours. Multiplier publishes the lower base, from $459 per employee per month billed annually ($499 billed monthly), and runs a broader self-serve HR suite. If you want one platform for everything, Multiplier is the stronger answer. Teamed starts from $599 and is a focused global employment system: contractor to EOR to your own entity on one stack, connecting to the tools you already run. It leads on cost clarity (every line itemised, FX at zero markup on the fee) and on support (HR and legal experts on every plan, assigned within 24 hours). It also leads on in-country compliance (own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel, best in-country partners, structure published) and advice on the right model wherever you start. For a company hiring at senior salary bands across several European markets that wants employment run properly by people it can reach, Teamed is the stronger fit.
• How do I switch EOR provider from Multiplier to Teamed without disrupting payroll?+

  The switch runs in four stages over a typical four to six weeks, and the risk is real but entirely preventable with sequencing. First, bring your current Multiplier MSA and a recent invoice, and Teamed reads the notice period, maps the exit timeline, and reviews the like-for-like costs including the deposit and pre-funding requirement per country. Second, Teamed builds the cutover plan per country or cohort: pay-cycle alignment so no run is missed or doubled, benefits continuity so cover never lapses, and a clean data handover, with the simplest or most urgent markets first. Third, plain-English communications go to your people and new compliant contracts issue, with the new payslip in place before the first cycle. Fourth, the cutover runs in phases with maker-checker sign-off, and Teamed manages the Multiplier termination timeline to avoid a double-billing overlap. Most EOR contracts are month-to-month or 30 to 90-day notice, and the operational plan, not the paperwork, is what takes the time.
