Employing contract workers comes with a lot of rules. Payroll taxes, classification, workers' comp, and benefits are all your responsibility. As your employer of record, Pheenix takes those on, so you can bring in the workers you want without carrying the employer liability.

What's included

Full employer of record: we legally employ your contract workers and take on the employment risk that comes with it.
Payroll & tax administration: payroll on time, with withholding, filings, and year-end forms handled.
Benefits & workers' comp: we provide employee benefits and carry workers' compensation coverage.
Compliance & classification: we handle employment compliance in each state your workers are in and lower your misclassification risk.
1099-to-W-2 conversions: we move independent contractors onto W-2 employment and handle the paperwork.
Payroll your own candidates: if you found someone yourself, we can put them on our payroll so you skip the admin.

How it works

1. Assess

We review your workers, their classifications, and pay rates, and set up an EOR arrangement that complies.

2. Onboard

Your workers move onto our payroll with their paperwork, benefits, and coverage in place.

3. Administer

We run payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance. Your team still directs the daily work.

4. Report

You get clear reports and a single invoice, and the employment liability stays with us.

Why Pheenix for payroll & EOR

Payrolling and EOR save money only when classification and filings are done correctly. Mistakes there turn into liability. We have the systems to employ people compliantly in the places they work. You keep control of the work, and we carry the payroll, benefits, and compliance. That applies whether you are converting 1099 contractors to W-2 or payrolling candidates you found yourself.
