Employer of Record (EOR) service

Protect your business. Empower your people. Simplify global hiring.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record (EOR) allows you to hire and manage offshore staff without the legal and compliance risks of direct contracting.


Levera becomes the legal employer for your offshore team. We handle HR, payroll, contracts, tax and compliance, so you can focus on running your business with confidence.

Why it matters

Many advice businesses directly contract their admin or support staff overseas. It can appear cheaper and more flexible, but this model brings hidden risks that can cause serious issues later.

Key risks of direct contracting:

Legal exposure

Overseas workers may still be covered by Australian Fair Work laws such as minimum pay or leave entitlements.

Employment compliance

Write a description for this tab and include information that will interest site visitors. For example, if you are using tabs to show different services, write about what makes each service unique. If you are using tabs to display restaurant items, write about what makes a specific dish particularly worthwhile or delicious.

ASIC scrutiny

Regulators are tightening reviews of outsourcing, data security and work-from-home arrangements under AFSL guidelines.

AFSL restrictionsts for new customers

Some licensees, including Capstone, now prohibit authorised representatives from engaging staff through direct contracts.

In short: what feels like flexibility can quickly turn into compliance risk.
