Employer of Record & PEO

Learn how to use an EOR in USE and find out how an employer of record platform like Remote can make it easy to hire globally with full compliance.

What happens when a country levies no taxes on personal income on the millions of expats and workers based in the country?
It quickly becomes a business hub that attracts businesses, agencies, and skilled professionals from around the world— think developers, engineers, marketers, and managers. We’re talking about the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The country has a diverse and talented workforce that businesses can easily tap into if they want to expand globally. However, hiring employees in the United Arab Emirates is no mean feat. 
You’ll have to create a local entity in the UAE, file for employment permits with the authorities, and build a team of HR staff to ensure you comply with Emirati employment laws — a process that can be expensive and time-consuming.
On the other hand, you could use an EOR. An employer of record maintains a local Emirati entity that officially hires your employees while they work for you. That way, you can scale your hiring faster without breaking some obscure employment regulation.
This article will explain how to use an employer of record in the United Arab Emirates, the benefits and costs of using an EOR, and how Remote’s global employment services can help you grow your remote team in the UAE.
