With our Employer of Record (EOR) service, MBO Partners acts as the legal employer for payrolled workers you hire domestically and internationally. We onboard talent quickly and manage payroll, benefits, and compliance in one platform so you can scale your workforce without administrative burden.
MBO gives payrolled workers engaged through our EOR service benefits similar to what full time employees receive, such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401k, tax filing assistance, and more.
Easily consolidate your accounts payable process through our platform. By receiving one invoice for all payrolled workers, your financial management process is streamlined and your administrative overhead is reduced.
Our onboarding process is comprehensive and efficient. We'll conduct background checks, contract review and more while ensuring your talent gets to work quickly.
MBO ensures that your payrolled workers are properly classified so your business is protected. Our expert staff, process, and technology work seamlessly together to reduce your misclassification risk.

Advantages
BenefitsWhile compliance and service are at the core of everything we do, MBO stands out as a provider by offering flexible engagement options that are better for you and your talent. Our personalized compliance process, backed by expertise and enhanced technology, properly classifies your talent without limiting them to choose between being a payrolled worker or vendor.
While our EOR service is great for payrolled workers, our Business Services option enables contractors who aren't yet fully established as an independent business to still work with you as an independent contractor, at a much lower cost.
60% of our talent are in a lower-cost combination of AOR and Business Services, compared to others who have up to 90% in EOR*.
Choose MBO to engage talent in a way that reduces costs and keeps you compliant.
