DEKRA review

DEKRA Arbeit GmbH is the staffing business named in the current imprint: Stuttgart HRB19560, VAT DE217156637, managing director Suzana Bernhard, with Nuremberg employment agency named as supervisory authority. The 2025 group ownership table lists DEKRA Arbeit at 100% and fully consolidated. This identifies the German entity; overseas employing entities and local licences still require confirmation.

Delivery

The EOR pages explicitly offer formal legal employment, locally compliant contracts, payroll, social contributions and authority registrations while the client directs work. DEKRA Arbeit markets a 23-country network; the broader international directory and global inspection-group footprint are not equivalent EOR country lists. Immigration/residence permits and accommodation are offered where necessary, without a hire-specific dependency timetable.

No numerical EOR tariff, country quote, FX spread, deposit/prefund formula, reserve-release deadline or add-on schedule was located in the inspected EOR pages. General promises of flexibility and avoiding long-term commitments are marketing language rather than verified contractual cancellation terms.

Payroll administration includes salary payments, taxes and social contributions. No country cutoff, approval/reconciliation example, payslip-to-invoice match or correction/compensation SLA was provided. Employee accounts about pay and departure disputes belong to temporary staffing or uncertain product scope, not a measured EOR payroll error rate.

Provider pages offer local country knowledge and a single professional service relationship, but no binding urgent-response or resolution deadline, coverage-hours schedule or named escalation chain. The staffing Trustpilot sample contains an unresolved dismissal-related salary report and a separate corrected departure entitlement dispute; these remain unverified employee accounts.

The inspected EOR pages do not demonstrate an employer or employee portal, local system handoffs, exports, integration field mappings, usability or outage recovery. Website recruitment tracking tools and general DEKRA group technology are not treated as EOR platform functionality.

Local employment, social insurance and statutory administration are marketed. Country benefit insurers/premiums, leave interfaces and expense payout cutoffs remain undisclosed. A German temporary worker reports initial satisfaction over three years but a Christmas-bonus/leave dispute when transferring to BMW; the same account reports prompt entitlement correction after threatening legal action.

The EOR service assumes formal employer administration, but no applicable EOR MSA establishing liability caps, client approval of counsel/settlements or the employment IP chain was obtained. Group general terms cover wider DEKRA services and do not establish the operative country EOR agreement.

The EOR page advertises avoiding long-term commitments without publishing actual notice, minimum spend, severance, transfer charges or reserve-release conditions. A staffing transfer complaint includes a corrected entitlement outcome; its bonus assertion is not independently adjudicated and cannot establish all EOR exit practice.

The website privacy policy names German hosting through Hetzner, GDPR rights and a data-protection contact; selected recruitment sections describe Appcast/Stepstone advertising tracking. These are website/recruitment disclosures. No employee EOR DPA, complete processor list, payroll platform authentication evidence or contractual breach-notification deadline was found.

Financial context

DEKRA 2025 consolidated report shows revenue EUR4.442bn, equity EUR1.211bn (40.7%), operating cash flow EUR387.2m and cash EUR231.8m. Temp Work revenue was EUR491.3m; revised planning resulted in full EUR26.3m goodwill impairment for that unit. The report records an unqualified PwC opinion. These are group/unit financial context, not insolvency findings or a guarantee that client payroll funds are ring-fenced.
