EOR generally USD599 per active employee per month, no base fee shown. US Payroll USD8+50base and PEO79/124prices are different products. Landing pricing advertises no implementation fee; help centre identifies private benefits management and immigration as add-ons, without published numeric rates. Salary, employer tax and benefit contributions are separately itemized employment costs. No complete signed country quote or negotiated discount inspected.

Service billing and midmonth exit

EOR service invoice estimated on1st, processed5th or next business day, covering whole calendar month. New employees added after1st produce two months of fees on next invoice; mid-month termination still incurs full-month service fee. Retroactive terminations where employee was not active can credit next invoice. These are service-fee dates, not payroll-funding deadlines. EOR invoices separate US PEO/Payroll/contractor invoices; employee/country itemization and CSV available.

Justworks expressly offers Australian EOR onboarding, payroll, employment contracts and statutory benefits. Its country page offers local expert assistance through employment and offboarding.

Midyear w2 provider guidance

Provider help article explicitly scoped to PEO and Payroll says a midyear switch produces one W-2 from the prior provider and another from Justworks for its part of the year. It also states a policy not to reopen prior-quarter tax returns and relies on timely customer reporting of off-platform payments. These published details qualify the Brian H complaint: a missing combined full-year W-2 is not by itself proof of misfiling. Actual forms, service agreement, other provider filings and support timeline remain unverified. No global EOR rule inferred.

Trustpilot sample and positive evidence

34complete unique Trustpilot accounts captured in displayed Most recent order across2pages, August2026–January2021; one updated2024date has unknown original publication. Ten invited positive accounts cluster May–June2023before Via; invitation does not establish incentive. They praise payroll/benefits administration, easy onboarding/UI and responsive help; recent Karen account also praises knowledgeable staff. Predominantly US PEO/payroll/benefits or unclear product, no explicit EOR relationship proven. Self-selection, age and invitation mix preclude a customer failure-rate estimate.

December5 2025Paley v Bellum order dismissed all claims against Justworks; alleged US employment discrimination in a PEO/admin arrangement does not establish EOR liability or an adverse judgment. July31 2026Pinckney order reports settlement and dismisses with60day reopening window if not consummated; allegations/terms and later outcome not established. Settlement does not establish wrongdoing.

Employment authority and offboarding

Only Justworks as formal employer issues binding termination notice. Client should request separation and avoid notifying employee before international team review. Desired last day may change with local law; guidance estimates2–3weeks to process request, assess reasons/documentation and select approach. Notice, severance, accrued holiday and benefit continuation depend on country and employment terms. No universal at-will or same-day dismissal right established.

Incoming switch guide uses resign-and-rehire: new Justworks contract signed before resigning previous EOR; prior provider handles final wages/accrued entitlements, and seniority recognized directly or indirectly depending country. PTO used or paid before switch can imply unpaid leave after move. Promised continuity requires local agreement/benefit coordination; no evidence of seamless achieved outcomes or outgoing transfer fee/timetable/data-export commitment obtained.
