Country Guides

Country-by-country.
Specialist-signed.

Statutory rates, notice schedules, termination law, indemnity maths, and the EOR-to-entity crossover threshold — known cold by the bar-admitted specialist named on every guide.

What's in a Teamed country guide that a generic 'hiring in [country]' SEO page won't have?

A bar-admitted specialist named on the guide, the cited statute (e.g. § 622 BGB, KSchG, UWV), procedural detail that decides outcomes (Betriebsrat consultation timing, indemnización scaling, the 14-day UWV deadline), and a country-specific EOR-to-entity crossover model. Generic SEO pages cite the social-security percentage and stop. Teamed guides go to the depth that matters when something goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions

  • What's in a Teamed country guide?
    The rules that decide outcomes when something goes wrong — § 622 BGB notice schedules, KSchG termination tests, Betriebsrat consultation timing, indemnización scaling by tenure, the 14-day UWV deadline. The math for when EOR stops paying off and your own entity makes sense. And the named specialist whose desk those answers came from, so you can ask them directly.
  • How long does it actually take to onboard someone in a new country via EOR?
    Days to a few weeks once contracts are signed — country-dependent. Germany typically runs 2–4 weeks for first-time hires (registration, social security enrolment, contract translation, payroll setup). South Africa, the Netherlands, and Spain run faster (1–2 weeks). The bottleneck is rarely the EOR; it's the candidate's notice period at their current employer and local document collection. Each country guide lays out the day-by-day onboarding sequence so you can plan to a real start date.
  • What do you need from us to start hiring in a new country?
    Less than most teams expect. To kick off an EOR engagement: (1) your company entity details (registered name, address, signing authority) for the MSA; (2) the candidate's offer terms (salary, role, start date, any equity) for the contract; (3) the candidate's right-to-work and identity documents per local law. Teamed handles the rest — local employment contract drafting, statutory enrolment, payroll setup, benefits selection, ongoing compliance. The first hire-ready contract typically lands within 48 hours of offer acceptance.
  • Can I get a procedural-depth view for a country not yet in the index?
    Yes. For any of the 180+ countries Teamed supports, request a country brief via the contact form — the assigned specialist returns a written procedural memo within 48 hours covering the same shape as the published guides (statutory rates, notice law, termination procedure, indemnity maths, entity-graduation threshold). The full public guide ships when enough customer demand justifies the editorial investment.
