In the fast-paced world of recruitment, understanding the difference between EOR (Employer of Record) and Pay & Bill services is more important than ever — especially when placing international or contract workers.

Both models offer support, but they serve very different needs. So, what’s the difference? And how can AtomHub.co.uk help you choose the right solution?

Let’s break it down.

🔁 What Is Pay & Bill?

Pay & Bill is about streamlining the financial flow between your agency, your contractors, and your clients.

It includes:

• Invoicing clients on behalf of your agency

• Collecting payments from clients

• Paying contractors or temporary workers (including processing timesheets and calculating pay)

• Generating reports for visibility on margins and cash flow

💡 Think of it as a financial engine that powers your existing workforce model — but it doesn’t handle employment compliance.

It’s best suited for:

• Agencies with their own contracts and client relationships

• Situations where you (the agency) act as the legal employer

• UK-based and some localised international hires

🌍 What Is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An EOR takes on the legal responsibility for employing a worker on your behalf.

That includes:

• Becoming the official employer in the country of work

• Handling employment contracts, tax, payroll, and compliance

• Managing benefits, onboarding, terminations, and legal risk

• Ensuring full compliance with local labour laws

💡 An EOR allows you to place contractors in a country where you don’t have a legal entity — safely, quickly, and compliantly.

It’s perfect for:

• Agencies placing workers internationally

• Projects requiring rapid mobilisation

• Reducing risk in complex employment markets
