PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYER ORGANISATION (PEO)
Employer of Record (EOR)

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An EOR is a company who employs people on behalf of global businesses in a foreign country – in our case South Africa.
Legal Employer
The EOR is the legal employer and is responsible for all employment, HR, Payroll, tax, labour, and compliance related issues.
Full Compliance
DNA EOR is legally obligated to comply to all company, tax, labour, HR and other statutory regulations specific to South Africa.
Growing Industry
EOR is a concept adopted by more global businesses every day. The “New World of Work” has radically increased the growth of the Global EOR industry.
Why Use EOR?
01
Access to Top International Talent
The Covid pandemic has opened the world's eyes to the benefits of remote working. EOR is the cryptocurrency of Global Hiring – it allows global businesses to transcend borders and hire the world's best talent without being constrained by legalities.
- Cultural diversity in teams enhances creative processes and team dynamics
Reduced Costs of Global Expansion
It costs much less to use an EOR than to set up your own entity. Setting up your own legal entity in a foreign country involves extensive professional fees for lawyers, accountants and other professionals.
- EOR assists in managing global expansion costs whilst reducing risk
02
Testing New Markets
When businesses want to test new geographical markets without making a long-term bet, then EOR makes a lot of sense. EOR contracts can be cancelled on short notice if things don't work out.
- Perfect tool for "dipping your toes" into new geographies
03
When Time to Market is Important
Businesses sometimes have limited time to appoint people in foreign countries. It can take many months to set up a legal entity in a foreign country, and by then the talent or the opportunity might be lost.
- Secure top talent before your competitors do
04
Managing Legal Risk of Compliance
Global businesses are often averse to legal and compliance risks of foreign countries that are unfamiliar to them. An EOR takes the compliance risk away whilst giving full access to a new market.
- Non-compliance to local laws can result in significant penalties
05
Short-term Projects
If a global business intends to operate in a foreign country for a limited time or for a specific project with a clear end date, setting up a legal entity makes no sense.
- On-board and off-board employees at a fraction of the cost
06
Employee Engagement Experience
When hiring people in a foreign country, you want to provide an excellent Employee Engagement Experience – from signing contracts, on-boarding, attractive employee benefits and easy access to Payroll and HR information. You want to project the right image and elevate your brand as a Global Employer.

Why South Africa?
Low Cost of Skilled Employment
South Africa has a good literacy rate with many people acquiring tertiary qualifications. Combined with an extremely high unemployment rate (34%), this makes South Africa a perfect low-cost labour market for global businesses.
34%
Time Zones and Language
South Africa's time zones coincide with most European countries. The official business language is English with a "neutral" accent that is easy to understand – especially relevant for call-centres.
