Remote Remote employs your Peru hires through its own local entity rather than a partner, which takes a layer out between you and the legal employer. That direct model runs from $699 per employee per month, the top of our Peru range. Peru mandates a statutory 13th-month payment, which your EOR administers on top of the platform fee. Third-party rating average: 9.3. Full review: https://employborderless.com/review/remote/ ### 2.

Companies use it to hire, pay, and manage international contractors and full-time employees without setting up local entities. Alex Bouaziz, Shuo Wang, and Ofer Simon founded the company in 2019. Deel is headquartered in San Francisco and has raised more than $980 million in seven funding rounds. The platform is now valued at $17.3 billion. How Deel works Deel supports hiring and payroll across more than 150 countries. Companies typically use the platform for the following services: - Employer of Record (EOR): Deel becomes the legal employer in the target country while you manage the day-to-day work - Contractor management: Allow clients to hire, manage, and pay independent contractors in multiple countries through a single platform. - Contractor of Record (COR): Deel takes on the liability, manages all HR/admin, and handles the risk for you. - Global payroll: Clients submit payroll data and approve it in one dashboard, and Deel handles taxes, deductions, and currency conversions automatically. Note: The main difference between contractor management and Contractor of Record services is who bears the legal risk and responsibility: you (with a standard Deel contractor service) or Deel (with COR). What stood out in my tests In my tests of the platform, the onboarding stood out for its simplicity and speed. In most cases, contracts are generated automatically based on the country, reviewed right on the platform, and approved in a few steps. What this means for you: you can hire in established markets within days. They’re also likely to find better contract standardization, clear compliance guidance, and faster onboarding compared to smaller regional providers. Third-party rating average: 9.5.

Rippling Rippling is an all-in-one workforce management platform that connects HR, IT, and finance functions through a unified employee database. Companies use it to manage payroll, benefits, devices, and software from one system. Parker Conrad (former Zenefits CEO) and Prasanna Sankar founded the company in 2016. Rippling now supports businesses operating in 83 countries. How Rippling works The platform automates workflows across business systems that normally operate separately. Rippling’s onboarding stood out in my research because users consistently describe it as efficient. For example, adding someone to payroll triggered their laptop order, email setup, and software provisioning right away. There are no (or fewer) manual steps since one employee database feeds all systems at once. What this means for you: It means automating tasks that normally require switching between multiple tools. Who uses Rippling Rippling works best for medium-sized technology and growing businesses with members across the world. These companies need advanced systems but lack enterprise-level IT departments. The Rippling platform provides just that: enterprise-grade tools without massive IT investments. What this means for you: Companies automate work that normally requires multiple tools and manual coordination. Third-party rating average: 9.5.

Hire with Columbus Hire with Columbus is an Employer of Record (EOR) service that enables companies to hire and pay international employees without establishing local legal entities. Operating as a high-volume discount provider, Columbus has positioned itself as the most affordable EOR solution by leveraging bulk purchasing power. When you use Hire with Columbus, they technically employ workers through their partner entities in 185+ countries. Columbus manages the legal employment paperwork, local tax compliance, payroll processing, and benefits administration, while you handle day-to-day work management. This arrangement saves the 3-6 months and $15,000-$50,000 typically required for foreign entity establishment. The platform serves two primary functions: - Full EOR services for companies hiring employees internationally - Contractor management for businesses working with global freelancers What distinguishes Columbus is their pricing model, at $179 per employee per month, they offer a 10% discount on standard market rates through volume aggregation. This approach makes enterprise-level EOR services accessible to smaller businesses that previously couldn't afford international expansion. Hire with Columbus operates through strategic partnerships with established EOR providers, negotiating bulk rates based on aggregate client volumes. This model allows them to offer premium services at significantly reduced costs while maintaining compliance standards across all jurisdictions. Third-party rating average: 10.

Employ Latam Employ Latam is a Latin America-focused Employer of Record (EOR) service that lets companies hire full-time employees across the region without opening a local legal entity. It operates across 19 LatAm countries, from Mexico and Brazil to Argentina, Colombia, Peru and the Central American and Caribbean markets. When you hire through Employ Latam, the local employment relationship, payroll, taxes and statutory benefits are handled on your behalf, while you manage the day-to-day work. This removes the 3-6 months and the entity-setup cost normally required to employ someone compliantly in a new country. The service covers two needs: full EOR for employees, and compliant contractor payments for businesses paying freelancers across the region. Pricing is country-specific and fully loaded, starting from $349 per employee per month, with statutory costs broken out in every quote so the number you see is the number you pay.

Oyster Oyster HR is an Employer of Record (EOR) and a global employment platform that allows companies to hire and manage international workers in more than 180 countries without setting up local legal entities. Founded in 2020, the company focuses on supporting distributed teams. Oyster’s services include international employment contracts, payroll processing, benefits administration, and ongoing local compliance in each country where it operates. Focus on employee experience Oyster places more emphasis on the employee experience than traditional EOR providers. Alongside core employment services, the platform includes Oyster Academy for professional development, as well as tools designed to support onboarding and cross-cultural collaboration. What this means for you: Oyster acts as more than a compliance partner. The platform is designed to help companies build and maintain engaged global teams, not just employ them on paper. Typical customers Oyster primarily serves mid-market and enterprise companies with 50 or more employees, but I've also seen a few startups in their customer base. The limiting factor here is the higher rate for Employer of Record (EOR) services. The platform attracts companies that value consistency, employee satisfaction, and long-term retention, even when that means paying more than low-cost EOR alternatives. Third-party rating average: 8.9. Full review: https://employborderless.com/review/oyster/ ### 9.

Full review: https://employborderless.com/review/papaya-global/ ## Selection criteria We weighted each provider on what separates real Peru expertise from a coverage-list entry: whether they employ through their own local entity or a partner, how they calculate the 13th salary paid in two tranches by July and December, how they manage the mandatory CTS severance deposits, whether they file correctly with SUNAT and remit ESSALUD and pension contributions, and how they run a documented dismissal that gives employees their statutory window to respond. Country hiring guide: https://employborderless.com/eor/countries/peru/ ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does an EOR cost in Peru? EOR providers typically charge from $199 to $699 per employee per month for the platform fee. On top of that you pay the salary, employer ESSALUD contributions of 9% for health coverage, and a 13th salary paid in two tranches each year. That is far cheaper than setting up a local entity, which costs $20,000 or more and takes months. ### Do I need an EOR to hire in Peru? Only if you do not have a local entity. Without one, you cannot run payroll legally or sign employment contracts as the employer of record. An EOR lets you hire within a week by becoming the legal employer, handling everything from SUNAT filings to ESSALUD contributions, CTS deposits, and leave accrual. ### What are the termination rules in Peru? Peru's labor law is strongly employee-friendly, and termination without documented just cause can cost up to 12 months of salary in compensation. Courts tend to side with workers, so the documentation has to be right from the start. An EOR that genuinely knows Peru keeps you compliant on contracts, CTS deposits, and termination procedures. ### How do I choose the right EOR for Peru? Ask how the provider handles fixed-term versus indefinite contracts, since fixed-term contracts max out at five years and must be registered with the Labor Ministry within 15 days. Check its payroll accuracy for the 13th salary, ESSALUD contributions, and pension funds. A provider that cannot explain when each contract type applies is a warning sign.
