Regional EOR
- Consider for
- Employers seeking Australian and regional hiring with public EOR terms and mobile self-service.
- Main trade-off
- Client indemnities and work-product risk are broad, while sponsored assignments can carry substantial staged early-exit charges.

The privacy notice lists related holdings, staffing, workforce, migration and Expedo entities; these are not separate competitors.

Costs, deposits & currency
Commercial
Published EOR pricing starts at AUD 300 per worker/month with no setup fee. The July 2024 agreement adds employment costs, a conditional bracketed 1% banking fee, tax and prevailing invoice FX without a stated spread. Invoices are due in seven days; the deposit equals the previous monthly payroll. Client-initiated dismissal within six months adds one subscription month. Annual increases after the first anniversary are the greater of CPI or 5%, from 1 July with one month notice. Confirm all terms in the current quote.

Customer evidence
Three supplier-selected EOR cases concern EcoVadis in Australia, CircleCVI in Malaysia and Ferrero contingent employment in Australia. Eleven Trustburn payroll comments lack visible authors, dates and individual ratings. Three Glassdoor staff accounts praise support and growth; one notes challenges from rapid change. These do not establish representative EOR outcomes or audited solvency.

Contracts & responsibility
Contract allocation
The EOR agreement promises due care, lawful pay and qualified nominees. The client manages work and bears broad employment and termination indemnities and employee work-product risk. IP assignment depends on local law and the employment contract. EPG must be consulted before termination or material changes. Marketing liability-transfer claims require reading alongside these indemnities.

Court history
FWC 1066, dated 24 April 2024, dismissed the claim against JD.com because it was not Mr Li’s employer. CDP arranged supply through EPG, identified as the employer in the contract. The decision records redundancy after the client ended the assignment and a prior EPG settlement. It is a jurisdictional decision, not proof of all allegations or an EPG breach of law. ABN history connects the historical entity to its current name.

Exit commitments
Discuss a proposed dismissal with EPG at least 30 days before telling the employee; local notice and employment costs still apply. Fees continue until exit. Sponsored foreign-worker assignments separately default to 24 months with staged early charges of 50%, 25% or 10% of remaining subscription depending on tenure. Do not apply the managed-payroll 24-month minimum to all EOR assignments. No deposit refund deadline was found. The agreement specifies a 14-day breach cure and transfer coordination.

Employee data & security
Security
The July 2024 group privacy notice covers employee payroll, tax and immigration data. It describes restricted access, encryption, firewalls, intrusion monitoring and legally required breach notices. Typical overseas recipients are in China, India, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore; the notice warns that overseas recipients may not be accountable under Australian privacy law. No fixed incident deadline, current independent certificate or complete employee DPA was verified.
