Frequently Asked Questions
An employer of Record, also known as an “EOR”, acts as the legal employer of a temporary worker, while you place your candidate on an assignment. This is for all legal purposes, as well as including tax, Administrative, and Personnel related items. An EOR will handle traditional functions that any employer would, including but not limited to: Processing timesheets, running payroll, I-9, W-2, benefits onboarding, and the like.
This is just one of the many solutions we provide. If you want to be the EOR then we can do that for you, as well. Learn more.

Although a PEO is always an EOR, an EOR is not a PEO. They are both similar, but the difference is that most staffing firms use a PEO for their entire internal staff and for an unlimited timeframe. While BOSS is a pure EOR (the only employer of record), a PEO uses joint ownership of your temps and thus dual EOR. This creates a co-employment situation and thus won’t protect you from any possible litigation or risk. Additionally, you will need to maintain your own insurances, etc for your temps.
You will get paid as soon as the client pays. We simply deduct the markup charged for burden (if applicable), insurance & fees. However, if you upgraded to “instant pay,” you will get paid upfront, before the client pays! .
