GCC Wide

Quick answer

The decision between EOR and managed payroll in the GCC is structural, not a cost preference. If you have a local entity in the country, managed payroll is correct. If you do not, EOR is the entry route. The most expensive mistake is continuing to use EOR after establishing an entity, which pays an ongoing premium for a service the company no longer needs.

EOR or managed payroll depends on whether you have a local entity, not on cost preference. How to make the right choice for your GCC setup.
