The Challenge: Navigating Employment Across Borders
A specialist HR & Finance consultant approached us with a specific challenge. They’re a small company with only a few employees, but they had a key team member who suddenly needed to return to their home nation of Portugal. The employee wanted to continue working remotely from there, but the company lacked the infrastructure to hire someone in Portugal directly. They also wished to prevent misclassifying the worker as a freelancer (also known as an autônomo), which could result in compliance concerns. They required a cost-effective solution to keep their staff while adhering to Portuguese labor standards.
The Solution: Agility’s EOR Services
Our team, led by one of our skilled and pleasant salespeople, took the time to discuss the client’s alternatives. We examined the legal and financial ramifications of hiring a worker in Portugal, and it became evident that utilizing an Employer of Record (EOR) was the best option. Understanding the client’s financial concerns, we collaborated closely with them to develop a cost-effective solution while maintaining complete compliance with local employment standards; all within budget.
Supporting the Employee’s Transfer
At Agility EOR, we believe that providing great service entails not just assisting the employer but also empowering the employee. Throughout the change, we made every effort to make the employee feel heard and supported. We addressed the employee’s concerns and answered their questions throughout the course of numerous calls in their native language. This personalized approach helped to streamline the procedure and facilitated a successful return to Portugal.
Results: Employee Success and Future Growth
Since the shift, the individual has thrived in their new surroundings, contributing to the organization with increased zest. The consultancy is happy with the results and has already begun planning to hire two more overseas staff through Agility.
