How an employer of record in Israel works
An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Israel, enabling compliant hiring without establishing a local entity. Because of its in-country presence, the EOR can employ the workers a company needs and “lease” them to that company, taking care to comply with Israel’s labor laws. As a result, companies can hire employees without a legal entity in Israel.
In addition to hiring, administrative functions such as payroll, employee onboarding, and benefits management also fall within the tasks that full-service EORs can handle. They can manage recruitment and hire and onboard employees in as little as two weeks as well. Altogether, these EOR services significantly reduce the administrative burden for an organization.
FAQs about hiring in Israel
Do I need a legal entity to hire employees in Israel?
In most cases, companies must establish a local legal entity to hire employees directly in Israel. However, using an employer of record (EOR) allows you to hire employees in Israel without setting up a subsidiary or registering a business locally. The EOR acts as the legal employer on your behalf, managing compliant hiring, employment contracts, payroll, tax withholding, and statutory benefits in accordance with israeli labor laws.
How long does it take to hire through an EOR in Israel?
Hiring through an employer of record (EOR) in Israel can typically be completed in as little as one to two weeks, depending on local employment contract requirements and onboarding procedures. Because the EOR already has an established entity in Israel, companies can hire and onboard employees more quickly than if they were to incorporate a local entity first.
What are the payroll compliance requirements in Israel?
Employers in Israel must comply with local payroll regulations, including income tax withholding, employer social contributions, and statutory reporting requirements. Payroll frequency, payslip standards, and tax filings must align with israeli labor and tax laws. An employer of record (EOR) in Israel manages these payroll compliance obligations on your behalf to help reduce administrative risk.
Can I hire remote employees in Israel?
Yes, companies can hire remote employees in Israel either by establishing a local entity or by partnering with an employer of record (EOR). An EOR enables compliant remote hiring in Israel without requiring your organization to register a company locally, while ensuring payroll, employment contracts, and statutory benefits meet israeli regulations.
