Questions we get a lot
Do you provide EOR?
We’re not an EOR provider. We set up processes and coordinate local vendors. If you need EOR, we can discuss partners/options.
Can we hire as contractors?
Depends on role and misclassification risk. We provide high‑level risk guidance and involve counsel if needed.
Can you run payroll monthly?
Yes — we offer monthly support retainers with defined SLAs.
Can contracts be in English?
Yes — we can deliver bilingual packs (EN + ES) and HQ review versions.
Need compliant hiring and payroll without HQ surprises?
Send a request — we’ll reply with 2–3 tracks, key risks and the next step. NDA is available.
