Employer of Record vs. PEO:

Finding the Right Fit for Your Global Workforce

Whether you need end-to-end compliance or offshore support for your in-house PEO model, Connext delivers scalable solutions built for modern teams.

Two Proven Models. One Trusted Partner.

Global workforce expansion doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why Connext supports both Employer of Record (EOR) and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) models helping businesses choose the structure that best aligns with their goals, risk profile, and internal capabilities.

As an EOR, Connext acts as the legal employer of your offshore team, handling compliance, payroll, benefits, and HR administration in the Philippines. We also partner with U.S.-based PEOs, providing offshore back-office support that strengthens their service delivery across HR, finance, IT, and more.

No matter your structure, our focus is the same: empowering you to scale efficiently, compliantly, and confidently.

What’s the Difference Between EOR and PEO?

Connext Supports Both Models—Here’s How

  • As an EOR: We hire, onboard, and manage full-time offshore staff on your behalf in the Philippines and Colombia. We handle payroll, HR compliance, taxes, and benefits while you direct their day-to-day work.
  • As a Support Partner to PEOs: We provide offshore administrative teams that help PEOs deliver services more efficiently. This includes support in finance, HR administration, customer service, compliance monitoring, and IT.

Whichever model you choose, Connext delivers secure infrastructure, quality talent, and a seamless client experience.

Which Model Is Right for You?

  • Choose EOR if:

You want to hire international employees without opening a foreign legal entity. EOR is ideal for fast expansion, compliance assurance, and full administrative relief in offshore markets.

  • Choose PEO + Offshore Support if:

You already have an entity and want to extend the reach of your PEO services with an experienced offshore back-office team without compromising quality or control.

Still unsure? We’ll help you evaluate your structure and choose the right path forward.
