The difference between international payroll and employer of record services is that an international payroll service is outsourced, and an employer of record is a legal employer of workers in specific countries. Employer of record services assume all workforce-related responsibilities on behalf of a global business, including HR, onboarding, payroll, and compliance.  An employer of record makes it possible for organizations to legally engage with workers in other countries without setting up a foreign entity or violating local employment regulations. Internationally payroll is part of an employer of record service, but EoR is not part of every global payroll service.
