What exactly is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a specialized organization that legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you do not have a registered business entity. Outsourcing Portugal - EOR becomes the official legal employer for tax, payroll, and compliance purposes, while you retain complete day-to-day control over your employee's work, responsibilities, and management. It's the fastest, most compliant way to hire internationally.

How long does it take to hire an employee through your service?

We can typically have a new employee legally hired and ready to start work in Portugal within 2-4 weeks, depending on the role and complexity. This timeline is dramatically faster than the 6-12 months often required to establish your own legal entity. For relocations requiring visas, the process may take longer based on visa processing times.

Who manages the day-to-day work of my employee?

You do. As the client company, you retain full managerial control. You direct the employee's daily tasks, projects, and workload. Outsourcing Portugal - EOR handles all the back-end legal, HR, and administrative responsibilities of being the official employer, freeing you to manage performance and integrate the employee into your team seamlessly.

Can you help hire employees anywhere in Portugal?

Absolutely! Our EOR solution enables you to hire talent in any city across mainland Portugal and its islands, including Lisbon, Porto, Braga, and the Algarve. We ensure full compliance with national employment laws, allowing you to build a distributed team and access the best talent no matter where they are located in the country.
