Know the difference
PEO vs EOR — in 30 seconds
PEO — Professional Employer Organization
Co-employment model. Pomerico and your company share the employer role. You retain more direct control over HR policies and processes.
Works best if you have — or plan to build — your own Polish entity. PEO complements your structure, it doesn’t replace it.
More customisation. You shape the HR policies, benefits and processes. Pomerico administers and ensures compliance.
EOR — Employer of Record
Full employer model. Pomerico is the sole legal employer on record. Your company has no employment obligations in Poland whatsoever.
No entity needed — ever. Hire in Poland or across the EU without registering a company, opening a bank account or dealing with KRS.
Zero compliance burden. All legal, payroll and tax obligations sit entirely with Pomerico. You focus on the work.
Benefits for Your Business
Measurable results across every engagement.
Full legal & tax compliance
We employ your employees on your behalf and take complete responsibility for employment contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, sick leave, vacation, onboarding and data protection. This eliminates legal risks and compliance challenges.
Zero Administration
We handle everything related to employment payroll, contracts, recruitment, and benefits - while you focus entirely on business growth.
Hire without establishing a local company
Enter the market without the cost and complexity of forming an entity. Scale your team in weeks - not months.
Access to talent unavailable on the open market
We started as a recruitment agency - which means we find specialists no job board will show you: Direct Search, sourcing campaigns, assessments, behavioural tests.
All-inclusive HR services
Payroll, contracts, benefits, legal support, onboarding, integration - all handled by Pomerico. You receive one monthly invoice and full transparency.

Who is our PEO for?
Top HR Outsourcing Company
Clutch Poland 2023
- You want to hire in Poland - but you're not ready to open a legal entity. You're expanding into Poland or Central Europe and need local employees fast. Setting up a sp. z o.o. takes 2-4 months and comes with ongoing legal, tax and accounting obligations you're not ready to manage. With PEO, Pomerico becomes the legal employer - you keep full control over the work, goals and daily management. First hire ready in 1-3 weeks.
- You're growing fast and HR administration is slowing you down. You're hiring 5, 10, 20 people and your internal HR team - or you as CEO - is drowning in contracts, payroll deadlines, ZUS filings and onboarding paperwork. PEO takes the entire employment function off your plate: contracts, payroll, benefits, compliance and documentation. You get one monthly invoice and zero admin. Your team focuses on delivery, not HR bureaucracy.
- You need qualified talent at 40-60% lower cost than in your home market. Your team in Denmark, Germany or the Netherlands is expensive and hard to scale. Poland offers the same level of talent - engineers, finance specialists, operations managers - at significantly lower total employment cost. PEO gives you direct access to Polish specialists without the overhead of a local entity, HR team or compliance infrastructure. We handle everything. You get the people and the savings.
- You have a Polish entity - but HR administration is still eating your time. You're already operating in Poland but payroll, contracts, ZUS filings and compliance are handled internally at a cost that doesn't make sense. PEO lets you transfer the employment function to Pomerico even if you have your own entity - keeping the legal structure, losing the admin burden.

Still unsure? In practice, most companies new to Poland start with EOR for speed and simplicity, then transition to PEO once they establish their own entity. Pomerico supports both stages — and the transition between them.
