Employer of Record Services : FAQ
What is an Employer of Record and how does it work in Qatar?
An EOR is a locally registered company that legally employs workers on behalf of a foreign business managing visa sponsorship, payroll, and Labour Law compliance while the foreign company directs the employee’s work. In Qatar, this allows international businesses to hire legally without forming their own entity.
Can a foreign company hire employees in Qatar without a local entity?
Not directly Qatar’s employment and visa system requires a locally registered sponsor for every employee. An EOR arrangement provides that sponsorship through Ayam Group’s existing CR, allowing foreign companies to hire compliantly without their own registration.
What is the difference between EOR and a staffing agency?
A staffing agency supplies workers it recruits. An EOR employs workers that the client company has already selected the EOR handles the legal employment and compliance, while the client directs the work. Ayam Group provides EOR services for employees the foreign company has already identified and wishes to place in Qatar.
