EOR Testimonials

Moving from People 2.0

I HIGHLY recommend BOSS as an EOR , especially after working with them for the last few years after previously being with People 2.0.

Their new client setup, employee onboarding and portal, extremely responsible and knowledgeable account management/customer service, and never ever an issue with our folks or ourselves getting paid.

They are also truly a one-time set-up portal, and every week payroll processes automatically, no interaction is needed on our end, and is seamless on all fronts.

Our folks get paid on Friday and then we would get paid for that past week on Tuesday, they provided all the funding to us ahead of time at a FRACTION of the cost as well.

We’ve worked with other Employer of Records and BOSS is number 1.

As a staffing industry executive of almost 20yrs, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Founder

Healthcare staffing. Moved From ESSG

We love our BOSS team. We launched an agency before the pandemic and were with another EOR.

The Employer of Record we were with did not give us the support we needed, and we were growing extremely fast. So, we decided to make the transition to BOSS after they launched, and we made the right choice.

The support has only gotten better since the beginning and the brand-new App technology is superb giving us the opportunity to utilize it to grow from anywhere. We are blessed to partner together while we continue to grow.

Hands down the best EOR service with top-notch technology.

BOSS gives us what we need t he most… our time, by allowing us to focus on what we do best, sales and recruitment. Coming from the staffing industry themselves, they not only understand how urgent contract staffing

can be but also how attention to detail, coupled with excellent customer service, can mean the difference between retaining or losing a sales opportunity. BOSS is ALWAYS super responsive and attentive to the velocity of our deals on the front end, as well as providing excellent follow-up and professionalism on the back end of invoicing, by managing collections and distributions for us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Employer of Record (EOR) do for a staffing agency?

An Employer of Record acts as the legal entity that manages payroll funding, tax filings, workers’ compensation, and compliance. Staffing agencies use an Employer of Record to reduce liability and speed placements across multiple states and time zones. See our EOR compliance overview for details.

Does an Employer of Record handle background checks and onboarding?

Yes. An Employer of Record supports background checks, I-9 verification, e-Verify, and onboarding paperwork so candidates are compliant from day one. This gives staffing agencies a faster, cleaner start with fewer errors. Review our onboarding & verification requirements.

How does payroll funding work with an Employer of Record?

The Employer of Record advances payroll funding so workers get paid on time, even before client invoices are collected. This improves cash flow while the EOR manages wage reporting, payroll administration, and compliance obligations. Pricing options are outlined on our EOR pricing for staffing agencies.

Can an Employer of Record provide health insurance and employee benefits?

Many Employer of Record services provide access to health insurance, retirement plans, and other employee benefits. This helps smaller staffing agencies attract and retain talent without managing multiple carriers. Learn how benefits integrate with payroll on our benefits and payroll integration page.
