The problem
Opening your own entity is expensive and time-consuming.
When you open a legal entity in the UK, you need to:
- Set up an HMRC account, register with them, and do monthly filings
- Find a local lawyer to set up contracts
- Hire a local HR expert
- Find a local finance specialist to run payroll
- Offer a pension scheme and match 4% of the salary to employee accounts
- Do end-of-year filings with your own entity
The solution
When Pilot acts as your EOR, you don’t need to set up your own entity.
With Pilot as your employer of record, you don’t need to hire experts in British laws, or be one yourself. You don’t need to know what HMRC and PAYE are, or the notice period for someone with 6 years of experience (it’s 3 months). We provide localized contracts, run payroll, take care of taxes, and make sure you stay compliant. Plus, we don’t charge any setup fees, just a low flat monthly fee.
How does an employer of record (EOR) work?
When you work with an EOR, they legally act as an employer for your employees. Global EORs have local entities set up in different countries, so you don’t need to set up the entities yourself if you’re hiring in those countries. Pilot enables you to hire employees in the United Kingdom and 100+ other countries, because we have entities set up around the world. As your EOR in the UK, we provide local contract templates and take care of payroll, benefits, and compliance for your British employees.
