When you should choose WorkDirect

If you plan on opening an entity in the future

If you want to potentially open an entity in the long run, WorkDirect can be an important first step in this direction.

To retain a strong employer brand

If you want to keep a strong employer branding, see your company’s name on the employment contract, and include clauses in the contract.

For flexibility during special cases

If you have special cases like the 18-month rule in Germany, WorkDirect might be the only compliant solution to hire employees for longer than 18 months.

Here’s how WorkDirect works

We’ll establish your company as a legal entity in your chosen European country. This means you’ll have a local tax number and can hire employees directly under your brand.
We’ll handle the payroll, ensure compliance with local labour laws, and provide ongoing HR support.

Data gathering

You provide WorkMotion with the necessary company information and corporate documents, such as commercial register excerpts and power of attorney documents.

Registration & payroll setup

WorkMotion's local partner handles the local non-resident employer registration process in your target country.

This might involve tasks like:

Registering your business entity with local authorities.

Obtaining local social security and tax identification numbers for employment activities.

Employee onboarding

WorkMotion assists you with employee onboarding and employment contracts for your new hires in the target country. This may include:

Managing payroll and tax withholdings.

Recommending vendors for statutory benefit set-up

Ongoing support throughout your WorkDirect engagement

Supporting your HR team with employee inquiries

Managing any employee data change with the local authorities

Facilitating your monthly payroll and contribution payment
