AP Group Payroll provides Employer of Record (EOR) services for businesses engaging workers across different jurisdictions.
Operating as a specialist payroll and HR services division within AP Group, AP Group Payroll runs independently alongside the Group’s recruitment divisions. Our Employer of Record service is focused on employment administration, payroll, HR support and compliance, rather than recruitment or candidate sourcing.
This allows your organisation to engage workers internationally while AP Group Payroll manages the employment framework required to support the arrangement.
