What is Third-Party Payroll?

Third-Party Payroll (also known as Employer of Record or EOR) is a service where JMD Consultancy becomes the legal employer of your workers. We handle all employment-related responsibilities — payroll processing, statutory compliance, employment contracts, and HR administration — while the employees work exclusively for you under your day-to-day direction.

This model is ideal when you want to hire employees in states where you don't have a registered office, need to quickly onboard a team without entity setup delays, or want to completely offload employer compliance risks and liabilities.
