Payroll in the United States of America

Boasting one of the largest staffing markets in the world, it’s no wonder so many UK recruitment agencies are looking to head stateside. 

We've got you covered

Unlike the UK, where there is one set of employment and tax laws, setting up in America is like operating in 50 different companies. The US has both federal (government) taxes and state taxes, with each state having its own tax and labour laws.

Although this may sound overwhelming, don’t worry, our International Payroll service provides your candidates with either an Employer of Record (EOR) or Agent of Record (AOR) for your corp-to-corp (C2C) solution so you don’t need to worry about any of that. 

As the EOR we’re responsible for…

  • I9 checks for each placement

  • Payment of both employment taxes and workers taxes

  • Dealing with any employment issues.

  • Workers comp insurance specific to each sector (mandatory benefit)

We’ll also provide your candidates with access to…

  • facilitate 401k pension (expected benefit)

  • private medical insurance (mandatory benefit)

  • vision cover (extra cost to employee)

  • dental cover (extra cost to employee)

  • life insurance (contributed by PayStream)

As the AOR we’re responsible for…

Excellent support with market leading technology
