Is white-label EOR the same as embedded EOR?

The same arrangement under two names. Deel and Remote call it embedded EOR; buyers who search for it, and Teamed, say white-label EOR. Both cover the service built into a platform's own product through an API, and some providers also use white label for a restyled portal, so ask which build a provider means.

Do we need our own entities to offer white-label EOR?

No. The provider is the legal employer, through its own entity or an in-country partner, and runs the employment contracts, payroll and compliance. A platform offers the service under its own brand without holding an employing entity anywhere.

Will our customers see the provider's name?

Yes, on the employment contract and the payslip. The provider is the legal employer, so its entity is named on the contract the customer's employee signs. Your brand can be on every screen the customer uses; the contract still names the provider, which is why no provider can honestly promise that your customers will never see its name.

Which EOR providers offer white-label EOR?

Several, under either name. The comparison of white-label EOR providers on teamed.global scores the ones whose own pages describe the offer, on one rubric, with every fact quoted from the provider's own page and dated.

White-label EOR

White-label EOR is an employer of record service sold by a platform under its own brand, with the EOR provider as the legal employer running contracts, payroll and compliance underneath.

What is White-label EOR?

White-label EOR is an employer of record service sold by a platform under its own brand, with the EOR provider as the legal employer running contracts, payroll and compliance underneath. The phrase carries two meanings in the market, and providers use it loosely. In the first, the provider's own portal is restyled with the partner's logo and the customer logs in to it. In the second, the service is built into the partner's own product through an API, so the customer never leaves it; some providers call this embedded EOR. Under both, the provider stays the legal employer: its entity, or an in-country partner it contracts with, is named on the employment contract and issues the payslip, and that is who carries the employment liability. Teamed runs the full employer of record service behind a partner's own platform, through an API, with Teamed as the legal employer.

How is white-label EOR different from a logo on a provider's portal?

In a true white label the service lives in the platform's own product: its own screens, its own workflows, its own client journey, with the provider running employment underneath through an API. A logo on a provider's portal means the customer leaves the platform to use the provider's product, restyled, with a separate login and a support path that is not the platform's.

Ask a provider which of the two it means before comparing providers.

Who is the legal employer in a white-label EOR arrangement?

The provider, through its own entity in the country or through an in-country partner it contracts with. The customer's employee signs a contract that names that entity and receives a payslip from it, whatever brand the customer saw when they hired. The platform owns the customer relationship and the screens; the provider carries the employment liability.

This is why no provider can honestly promise that a platform's customer will never see its name. The name on the employment contract is the provider's, because the provider is the one standing behind it.

How do platforms pay for white-label EOR?

Under one of three shapes: revenue share, a wholesale per-employee rate the platform marks up, or referral fees. No major provider publishes its rate; the commercial model is agreed in the partnership agreement.

The pricing article explains each shape, quotes what Remote and Deel publish, and says what Teamed does and does not publish.

Key facts

The phrase means two things: The provider's portal restyled with your logo, or the service built into your own product through an API (some providers call the second embedded EOR).Remote describes its embedded offer as letting partners "deliver global employment services fully under their own brand"; Deel's developer site documents the API a partner's product builds on. Ask which one a provider means.Source: remote.com/embedded; developer.deel.com, Embedded EOR overview· verified 2026-10-15
