Frequently asked questions

• Is Teamed cheaper than Multiplier?+

  Not on the published base. Multiplier starts at $400 per employee per month, and Teamed is $599 flat, so on the headline Multiplier is lower. We say so. The headline leaves out the conversion cost, the deposit and pre-funding, and the onboarding and exit terms. Multiplier publishes a base, but no conversion methodology. Teamed absorbs conversion at zero markup on the fee, shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference, 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. Owning an entity is the floor, not the whole job. And the best answer isn't always an owned entity: sometimes the right in-country partner gives you better local depth. Teamed shows you which model stands behind each country. 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 salary mix in each country. As a rough guide, EOR stays more cost-effective than your own entity below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees in most European 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, with no support tier to unlock, and is rated 4.8. 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.
• How do Teamed and Multiplier compare on security certifications?+

  This is where Multiplier leads today, and we say so. Multiplier publishes a broad certification set, including SOC 1, SOC 2 Type I/II, SOC 3 and ISO 27001:2022. Teamed's controls and processes are in place, with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 accreditation underway, so the certificates aren't issued yet. If a current certificate is a hard procurement gate, weigh that honestly before switching, and ask both providers for their current reports and dates. If the audit is on your side of the table rather than a blocking requirement, ask what controls are actually in place rather than which badge is printed.

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

  It depends which of two buyers you are. Multiplier publishes the lower base, from $400 per employee per month, runs a broader self-serve HR suite, and holds a wider set of security certifications today. If the base decides it, you want one platform for everything, or a current certificate is a procurement gate, Multiplier is the stronger answer. Teamed is $599 flat and 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 shown against the mid-market reference), support (HR and legal experts on every plan, no tier to unlock), 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 and the applied FX rate shown 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.
