What Is Industrial EOR and How Does It Protect Your Business?

Industrial EOR (Employer of Record) is a model where SSF becomes the official employer of workers at your facility. We carry full legal responsibility, manage HR records, and interact with government authorities. You get stable workforce without your own HR department, risk of immigration law violations, or unpredictable costs.

  • SSF becomes the official employer of assigned workers.
  • We manage employment contracts, payroll, HR records, and required documentation.
  • We support labour and immigration compliance.
  • Your company focuses on production and operations, while SSF manages the employment process.
  • You receive one monthly invoice for the agreed services.
