Employer of Record in the Cayman Islands

What Is an Employer of Record

Different businesses have different needs when it comes to hiring employees. The Employer of Record international talent engagement model may be a good fit for fast-growing tech businesses and startups that need to take on people quickly and easily.

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a business that employs workers on behalf of another company. The EOR arrangement is often used when an organization wants to hire employees in a foreign country. EORs can be used as an alternative to setting up a branch or company in the jurisdiction of employees. This can save time and money by avoiding having to go through the process of setting up a separate legal entity.

Global Payroll Set Up and Administration

When setting up payroll in the Cayman Islands, having an employment contract is a legal requirement in this country. It should have all the details of the employee’s responsibilities, taxes, compensation, perks, grievance and disciplinary procedures, and even termination and immigration requirements if required.

An employee offer letter in the Cayman Islands should always have the salary and compensation amounts listed in local currency instead of foreign currency. It is advisable to list salary and compensation amounts in the local currency rather than foreign currency in an offer letter. The legal requirements for an employment agreement in the Cayman Islands are relatively basic, and most such contracts tend to be more comprehensive than the law stipulates. It is advisable to draft such an employment contract under the recommendations of a Professional Employer Organisation in the Cayman Islands.

7 Reasons to Work With a Global Employer Has to Be on Your Radar

Payroll taxes and service fees can be an enormous burden for employers. Many companies use a Global EOR (Employer of Record) to help with these costs. PEOs typically charge a percentage of the total payroll, including employee insurance fees. It can be challenging to determine the actual costs for these services, especially when some employer taxes are only paid on wages up to a certain threshold.

1. Single Global Service Agreement

A global PEO can cover all your international projects within a single contract and add new employees and services as you expand your global workforce in new countries.

2. No Required Minimums

We accept projects of any length, with any number of employees.

3. Flexible Pricing

At Acumen International, we adjust your pricing based on the project employee number, whether you need to scale up or down.

4. End-to-end Global Employment Solution

We manage all your global services, including employment, recruitment, immigration, legal and global HR consulting, saving you valuable time. And Acumen International covers the cost and saves you the effort of finding and selecting local employment-related service providers.

5. Avoid Lawsuits

If you don’t want to get sued, you should become a Global Employer of Record. By doing so, you limit your vulnerability to lawsuits by making sure compliance procedures are followed, taxes are paid correctly, and payroll is appropriately managed.

6. Reduced Expenses

A global employer of record (EOR) will bundle the cost of payroll, benefits, and workers’ compensation onto one payroll. The EOR will also handle tax filing on your behalf. This means that you only pay one set fee per month for all services, which can save you time and money by preventing multiple invoices from being mailed to you.

7. Free Yourself from HR Hassles with a Global Employer of Record

When you partner up with a Global Employer of Record, you’ll have someone who’s always there to handle the small and large tasks that are going to come up in your HR department.
