Switching EOR providers

Have you outgrown your current EOR?

If your provider is falling short, you’re in the right place. IES delivers industry-leading human support, expert compliance guidance, and global coverage — while minimizing disruption and risk.

Why companies switch EORs

If you’re questioning your EOR, you’re not alone.

More companies are leaving EOR partners who can no longer support their needs because of limited global coverage, compliance gaps, poor service, and legal challenges.
What we’re hearing from businesses making the switch:

• Their provider can't support their growth in new global markets

• They’ve experienced inaccurate payroll, benefits mishandling, or delayed onboarding

• Their team is frustrated with slow customer service and chatbot support

• They bought into an EOR platform instead of a full-service EOR

• Surprise fees or billing practices have made budgeting impossible

• Their provider is involved in legal action or regulatory scrutiny

How switching EORs works

Transitioning your workforce to a new service provider may seem daunting. We make switching EORs low-risk and high-reward. You'll be guided every step of the way, with minimal disruption for your workforce.
  • Step 1: Partnership alignment
    We want to get to know your business, your workforce, and your pain points so that we can understand your goals and kick off contract development to support a smooth transition or new worker engagement.
  • Step 2: Discovery & planning
    We assess your current workforce and country-specific compliance needs to build a tailored implementation plan for both new hires and transitioning workers.
  • Step 3: Solution design
    We translate the implementation plan into a tailored EOR or AOR solution – integrating compliance, communication and full-service support to ensure a smooth launch and long-term success.
  • Step 4: Change management
    We equip your managers and workforce with clear communication, training and what-to-expect guidance so everyone’s ready on day one.
  • Step 5: Compliant onboarding
    IES onboards new and transitioned workers in full compliance with local regulations – handling employment contracts, tax setup, benefits and more across each country.
  • Step 6: Ongoing partnership
    We don’t disappear after onboarding. We stay close, respond fast, and help you scale.
