EOR setup and offboarding fees: which providers charge them
Beyond the monthly fee, some employers of record charge once when a hire starts (a setup, onboarding or implementation fee) or when it ends (an offboarding, transition or early-termination fee). What each provider's own pages say, with the page that says it.
Of the 93 providers BestEOR.co tracks, 9 state that a setup fee applies (at some, only in some cases) and 28 say they charge none; 5 state an offboarding or early-termination fee and 20 say they charge none. 18 say they charge neither. For the rest we found nothing either way on their public pages, so ask before you sign. Read from each provider's own pages on 2026-11-07.

Get matchedQuestions about EOR setup and offboarding fees
Is an offboarding fee the same as severance pay?
No. An offboarding fee is the provider's own charge for ending the employment. Severance and notice pay are what the country's law owes the employee, and the employer pays them whoever employs the person: an employer of record passes them on to you.
What should I ask before I sign?
Whether any fee applies when the hire starts or ends, whether an early exit within a first period costs extra, and whether the provider holds a security deposit it refunds when the employment ends. The minimum term, the notice to end the service and any charge for leaving early are compared on EOR contract terms.
