Global hiring your legal team can sign off on
Built for the people who own the number, not just the hire.
The questions that keep legal teams up at night
Are our contractors misclassified?
One wrong call in the UK or Germany can trigger back-taxes, penalties, and reclassification.
Can we defend this in an audit?
Documentation scattered across regions and providers is a liability, not a defense.
Whose neck is on the line?
With most providers, the employment liability still sits with you.
Is our people data compliant?
Employee data crossing borders is a GDPR and DPDP exposure waiting to happen.
Misclassification, prevented
Misclassification is the single most cited EOR risk across the category for a reason: it’s retroactive. Backdated social security, employer taxes, and penalties don’t show up until the relationship’s already years old.
Every worker is tested against local law before onboarding – IR35 in the UK, the multi-factor employee-vs-contractor tests used across the EU and India, not reviewed reactively when a regulator asks.
An Indian engineer placed with a German client under direct supervision isn’t a contractor arrangement, it’s labour leasing requiring an AÜG licence, which PamGro holds directly.
Because PamGro made the determination and holds the employment relationship, the exposure stays with us.
Liability transferred, not just monitored
Most providers position themselves as a compliance layer, flagging risk, tracking regulatory changes, sending alerts. That’s monitoring. It leaves the liability exactly where it started: with you.
PamGro is the named legal employer of record in every market where we place your hires. That’s a structural difference, not a service-level one.
Contracts, statutory obligations, and employment liability sit with PamGro’s own entity in that country, not a partner’s, not yours.
If a statutory filing, contribution, or termination process is done wrong, that’s our failure to fix, not your General Counsel’s exposure to explain.
Because we’re the registered employer, the hire doesn’t create an unintended taxable presence for your company in that country.
Audit-ready by default
For a legal team, “compliant” isn’t enough on its own- it has to be provable, on request, in a format a regulator or auditor will accept.
The reasoning behind each determination is recorded to audit standard, not held informally by an account manager.
No waiting on a partner network to produce records from a jurisdiction PamGro doesn’t directly operate in.
Including Germany and the UK, where PamGro holds the AÜG licence and FCSA accreditation directly, and has employed 8,500+ contractors under this exact model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does PamGro replace our legal counsel?
No. PamGro reduces risk and workload by becoming the legal employer and carrying compliance but we don’t replace your legal advice. Final classification and strategic decisions stay with you.
Who actually holds the employment liability?
PamGro. As the employer of record, we are the legal employer in each market and carry the statutory employment obligations and liability backed by accreditations like FCSA (UK) and the AÜG licence (Germany).
How does PamGro prevent worker misclassification?
Localized classification assessments against each country’s law (including IR35 in the UK), applied before onboarding, with documentation retained. Final decisions always remain with you.
How is employee data handled across borders?
GDPR in Europe, DPDP in India, and equivalent standards elsewhere with in-region data residency, encryption, and access controls, documented for your review.
Can you standardize contracts across countries?
Yes. One consistent framework adapted to each jurisdiction’s legal requirements, so you’re not reviewing bespoke agreements market by market.
What about works councils, CBAs, and regulated roles?
Handled including the German AÜG licence and works-council obligations, with appropriate provisions for regulated roles. Formal regulatory approvals stay with your firm.
