An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service that allows foreign companies to legally hire employees in Turkey without establishing a legal entity. The EOR becomes the official employer of record on paper, handling payroll, tax filings, social security, and compliance on your behalf—while you retain full control over the employee’s day-to-day responsibilities.

- Save time and operational costs
Who Should Consider EOR Services?
