Country fit & local delivery

Hybrid delivery and scope

Provider markets EOR in160+countries. Current terms describe procurement/platform/business management through owned/controlled subsidiaries and independent third-party Partners; terms explicitly say these Partners are not WorkMotion subcontractors. No complete verified country employer/licence/eligible-role map obtained. Country count and absolute compliance claims do not establish every candidate, regulated role or local service quality.

Identity and history

Current EOR terms identify WorkMotion Software GmbH, Berlin HRB219211B, at Große Hamburger Straße17. Company describes2020founding by Carsten Lebtig, Felix Steffens and Karim Zaghloul. Secondary registry sources and Employsome describe former PeopleFlow GmbH and May2021rename; no original German extract inspected. Preserve as historical identity lead, not separate competitor.

Client authority and travel

Client directs day-to-day work, location, hours and compensation within local law and must use compliance features. Travel to a country where client has its seat/entity requires prior consultation; WorkMotion reserves final approval. Client must not independently prepare or communicate employee termination. General guidance excludes legal/tax advice; client must assess permanent-establishment tax exposure with advisers.

G2 employee onboarding context

The five added employee accounts praise onboarding, contract signing, accessible documents, responsive specialists and clarity about salary, tax and benefits. An employee explicitly hired in Spain says forms do not always fit remote-worker circumstances. Another praises quick routine help but wants complicated requests handled faster; a third says legal and tax complexity needs clarification, which support provides. These comments do not establish unlawful terms, late salaries or a measured support guarantee.
