Yes, employees can be transferred from a local entity, another Employer of Record (EOR) provider, or a partner organization into Remote People.
This is a common approach for companies looking to:
Consolidate their global workforce under one provider
Improve compliance
Simplify operations across multiple countries
Remote People supports you throughout the entire process to ensure a smooth and compliant transition for both your business and your employees.
How does the transfer process work?
1. Initial assessment
The process begins with a kickoff discussion to understand your goals and the countries involved.
You’ll typically be asked to provide:
A list of employees to be transferred
Their current employment arrangements
Notice periods
Employee types (e.g. local, expatriate, freelance, fixed-term)
2. Compliance review
We assess the legal and operational requirements in each country, including:
Local labor laws
Visa or work permit requirements
Onboarding feasibility
3. Coordination with current employer
You’ll need to align with your current EOR provider or entity on key details such as:
Transfer timelines
Notice periods
Treatment of accrued paid time off
Whether severance can be waived (where applicable)
4. New employment contracts
Remote People prepares new employment agreements for the transferring employees.
To ensure continuity:
Employees should sign their new contract before leaving their current employer
In some cases, a Mutual Termination & Transfer Agreement (MTTA) or tripartite agreement may be used to preserve benefits such as seniority and accrued leave
5. Onboarding and transition
Once employees are officially released from their current employer, we complete onboarding with Remote People.
From there, our HR and payroll teams manage ongoing employment and local compliance.
Key considerations
Seniority and accrued benefits can often be preserved, depending on local laws
Requirements and timelines vary by country
Early planning helps ensure a smoother transition
