Competitors like to charge a "flat" fee. But in most cases, flat fees aren't quite so flat. HR Options takes a different approach. We charge a straightforward service fee based on payroll.
EOR service fee
Percentage of payroll
(Scaled by payroll volume)
Employer taxes, statutory obligations, insurance costs, and other employment expenses are separately identified, so you see exactly what you're paying for and why.
When evaluating an Employer of Record provider, the most important question isn't simply, "What's the monthly fee?"
The better question is: "Can I clearly see where every employment dollar goes?"
Many EOR providers promote a flat Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) fee, but the true cost of employment often includes additional taxes, insurance obligations, statutory costs, and administrative expenses that may not be clearly identified. At HR Options, every cost category is visible and every charge has a purpose.
Compare transparency, not just fees

Ask any EOR provider these questions:
If those answers aren't clear, you may not know your true employment cost. At HR Options, every category is identified, documented, and available for review.
Employment isn't one-size-fits-all. The complexity of workforce administration, compliance obligations, payroll support, employee relations, and risk management often scales alongside the workforce being supported.
Rather than charging the same flat fee for every employee regardless of compensation, HR Options aligns its service fee with the workforce we manage while maintaining complete visibility into every employment-related cost. The result is a pricing model built around transparency, accountability, and long-term partnership.
