What is an Agent of Record and how does it differ from an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record (EOR) becomes the legal employer of a worker, handling payroll, benefits and HR obligations. An Agent of Record (AOR) manages independent contractor engagements, ensuring correct classification, compliant contracts and local tax adherence, without employing the worker directly.​

An AOR protects companies from misclassification penalties, tax non-compliance, visa or work permit issues and breaches of local labour laws. This reduces exposure to fines, back payments and reputational damage.

Yes. An Agent of Record ensures contractors are paid accurately, on time and in their local currency. This includes managing invoicing, tax withholdings and compliance with country-specific payment rules.

An Agent of Record acts as a legal and administrative middle ground between your business and its contractors. As part of our AOR services, we manage contractor classification, compliance agreements, tax obligations and payment requirements on your behalf.

With EPG as your AOR partner, the responsibility of classifying the contractor correctly shifts to us. Engaging our AOR services reduces the risk of misclassification penalties and the accompanying tax liabilities across jurisdictions.

No. You retain full control of your contractors’ day-to-day activities, including deliverables, project scopes and performance management. Meanwhile, we handle the compliance, contracts and payments without interrupting your team’s operations or processes.
