Equity for EOR employees

Can you give stock options to an employee on an employer of record?

What each provider's own pages say about equity for the people it employs for you: whether it handles the tax withholding and reporting, how far its help goes, and what it charges where it says.

Usually yes. Your company grants the options or shares under its own plan; the employer of record, as the legal employer, runs the local payroll side: the tax withholding, social security and reporting each country requires when the equity vests or is exercised. How much the provider takes on varies, and some charge for it on top of the monthly fee, so ask for it in writing before you grant. Get local advice on the plan itself: some countries tax options at grant, others at exercise or sale.

Providers that say they support equity

Read the wording: some run the withholding and reporting themselves, some help where the obligation is theirs, some only on request. Providers not listed say nothing about it on their public pages.

What it costs

The providers that publish a price for equity, in their own words. Everyone else prices it on request.
