Employer of Record Services

Comprehensive EOR solutions that protect your business, simplify compliance, and reduce employment liability across all 50 states.

What Is an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that takes on the legal responsibilities of employing workers on behalf of another company. The EOR becomes the official employer for tax, payroll, benefits, and compliance purposes — while you retain full control over day-to-day work direction and business operations.

For temporary staffing firms and PEOs, EOR arrangements are a powerful tool for expanding into new states, onboarding contract workers quickly, and reducing the administrative and legal burden of multi-state employment. Madison Insurance Group works closely with EOR providers to ensure your insurance program is structured to match your employment model.

Key Benefits of EOR Arrangements

EOR structures give staffing firms and PEOs a competitive edge — here's what they unlock.

Multi-State Compliance

Operate across all 50 states without setting up separate legal entities in each jurisdiction. The EOR handles state-specific employment law, tax registration, and regulatory filings.

Payroll & Tax Administration

The EOR processes payroll, withholds and remits federal and state taxes, and handles W-2 issuance — eliminating payroll complexity for your internal team.

Workers' Compensation Coverage

EOR arrangements require carefully structured workers' comp programs. MIG specializes in building WC solutions that align with your EOR model, including pay-as-you-go and multistate programs.

Employee Benefits Administration

Offer competitive benefits packages — health, dental, vision, life, and voluntary benefits — through the EOR without the overhead of managing your own benefits infrastructure.

Employment Practices Liability

Reduce exposure to wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment claims. EOR structures combined with EPLI coverage provide a strong layer of protection.

Rapid Workforce Deployment

Onboard workers in new markets in days, not months. The EOR handles all employment setup so you can focus on placing talent and growing your business.
