The global employment partner that stays with you.

Frequently asked questions

• What is Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO)?+

  GEMO is Teamed’s unified way to run global employment while you stay the legal employer. It combines entity management (incorporations, registrations, governance) with end-to-end employment operations inside your entities.
• Who supports us? Is it a AI agent?+

  Our model is simple: real people, backed by the latest AI technology.
• Do you charge setup or offboarding fees?+

  No, there are no hidden offboarding costs. If a contract ends, you won’t suddenly be billed for a “closure fee.”The only time a cost may apply is if local labour law requires statutory severance or other mandatory payouts. In those cases, the fee goes directly to the employee, not to us... and it will be clearly flagged upfront.
• How do you keep your prices down?+

  We’ve lived the challenges of global hiring, so we designed Teamed to remove waste at every step. • Automation where it makes sense: payroll calculations and compliance updates run seamlessly in the background. • Expert oversight where it matters: HR and legal specialists handle the complex calls. On top of that, salaries, taxes, and benefits are passed through at cost — no markups, ever. You’ll see every line item before payroll runs, so there’s no guesswork in what you’re paying for.
• What's an employer of record (EOR)+

  An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another company. The EOR handles all employment-related responsibilities including payroll, benefits, tax compliance, and HR administration, while the client company manages the employee's day-to-day work and performance.
• How does the EOR relationship work?+

  In an EOR relationship, Teamed becomes the legal employer of your workers while you retain full control over their daily activities, projects, and performance management. We handle all compliance, payroll, benefits, and employment law requirements in each country, allowing you to focus on growing your business without the complexity of international employment regulations.
• What are employer of record services?+

  EOR services include comprehensive employment management: legal employment contracts, payroll processing, tax withholding and filing, benefits administration, compliance with local labor laws, HR support, onboarding and offboarding, and handling employment disputes. Teamed provides all these services across 180+ countries with local expertise in each market.
• Can you use an EOR provider to hire independent contractors?+

  Yes, Teamed supports both employee and contractor arrangements. We can help you determine the correct classification based on local laws and your working relationship. If contractor status is appropriate, we'll handle compliant contractor agreements. If employment is required by local regulations, we'll seamlessly transition them to our EOR service.
• How can an EOR aid global expansion?+

  An EOR eliminates the need to establish legal entities in new countries, allowing you to hire talent globally within days instead of months. Teamed handles all local compliance, reduces legal and financial risks, provides market entry expertise, and offers scalable solutions that grow with your business. You can test new markets quickly and cost-effectively.
• How does an EOR differ from a PEO?+

  A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) shares employment responsibilities with your existing company, while an EOR becomes the sole legal employer. PEOs typically work within your home country, whereas Teamed as an EOR enables international hiring without requiring you to have a legal entity in each country. EORs provide more comprehensive global expansion capabilities.
• How does an EOR differ from a staffing agency?+

  Staffing agencies recruit and place temporary workers, while an EOR like Teamed employs your chosen candidates as permanent employees. You select and manage your team directly, and we handle the employment logistics. EORs provide long-term employment solutions with full benefits and compliance, not temporary staffing placements.
• How will my employee be onboarded?+

  Teamed provides a streamlined onboarding process with a dedicated onboarding manager. We handle employment contracts, local compliance requirements, payroll setup, benefits enrollment, and all necessary documentation. Most employees can be onboarded within 24-48 hours, with full support in their local language and timezone.
• How does Teamed EOR handle benefits?+

  Teamed provides comprehensive benefits packages that meet or exceed local requirements in each country. This includes statutory benefits like health insurance, pension contributions, and paid leave, plus competitive additional benefits. We manage all benefits administration, enrollment, and compliance, ensuring your employees receive excellent coverage while you stay compliant with local regulations.
