Global EOR
- Consider for
- Teams that value a published service charter and coordinated multi-country employment administration.
- Main trade-off
- The controlling MSA, minimum commitment and transfer charges were not obtained; short administrative targets do not replace employment notice.

Country fit & local delivery
Identity country
Global Expansion is an Equus business founded in 2020. It claims EOR, payroll, benefits, tax and work-authorisation support in 214+ markets, including countries and territories. This is not proof of 214 sovereign countries or wholly owned employers. Its charter refers to local companies or employers, and customer reports identify partners. Parent-company longevity is distinct from GX operating history.

No private quote, signed EOR contract, outreach or operational trial. Provider claims are not independent delivery verification. Search absence does not prove absence of incidents.
Payroll workflow
The charter describes client and employee forms, contract drafting and review, signing and a country annex. Conditional onboarding/offboarding targets are three to seven working days, compared with 24-hour marketing. Expense and variable-pay cutoffs are the 25th, subject to country variation; the table refers to payment in the following month’s salary. Payroll passes from client through GX and the local team to the employee. Correction liability is not established.

Country concerns
Thirty newest displayed Trustpilot accounts retain praise for personal help, onboarding and responsiveness. Specific reports allege unresolved Singapore partner insurance (Keng, September 2026), a missed Brazil medical appointment and incorrect refund (RV, June 2025), an unclear four-party employer chain (Ximena, January 2025), 20 days working without a contract (BK, December 2024), and slow communication or platform mismatch (Mila, October 2024). Targeted Marda feedback from September 2024 also questions the Singapore partner and benefit briefing. Outcomes are unverified; profile country is not automatically employment country.

Costs, deposits & currency
Commercial deposits
The public charter itemises salary, allowances, employer tax, variable pay, approved expenses, FX and the GX fee. The MSA sets fees and the deposit amount. Invoices are due in ten working days. Deposit invoices are issued within five working days of starting; deposits protect employee pay if the client is late and are returned within 14 working days after final payments and offboarding. No FX spread is stated. This changeable charter is subordinate to the MSA; its monthly-fee glossary is ambiguous.

Targeted cost continuity
A targeted Susan review from 2023 alleges employee costs 50–60% above the quote and poor support. Four other historical low ratings concern marketing contact rather than established EOR delivery. A positive supplier-selected GitLab case describes consolidation from 30+ EORs, country-specific transfer planning and 30 hires in the first month. These accounts cannot establish a failure rate or audited continuity.

Support & accountability
Support targets
The charter targets responses to 95% of emails within two hours, answering 95% of calls with an initial response, and answering 95% of queries within 48 hours. It provides escalation and optional post-resolution evaluation. These are changeable targets subject to the MSA, not measured delivery or a universal service-credit guarantee. GX1 advertises 24/7 in-app messaging.

Platforms & integrations
Platform
GX1 advertises device-independent access, time, compensation, expenses, leave, contracts and integration automation. The charter also names GoCo as the HR platform, so the actual system and local portals need clarification. No tested integration list or uptime history was obtained. Accounts include praise for GX1 and one report of coordinator information not matching the platform.

Contracts & responsibility
Contract exit
GX says it coordinates local notice, resignation, termination, final salary, expenses, accrued holiday, severance and transfer to another employer. No operative public MSA, liability cap, IP assignment, minimum notice commitment or transfer fee was obtained. A three-to-seven-day administrative target does not override employee notice requirements.

Employee data & security
Security
GX claims Azure hosting, encryption, independent ISO 27001 audits, two-factor authentication, roles, SAML 2 SSO and backup. Its February 2026 Equus GX privacy notice expressly excludes employee and customer-product data governed by a separate agreement. Website Data Privacy Framework and certification claims do not substitute for an employee DPA, audit report or processor list.
