Pricing – what does an EOR service cost in Finland?

The total cost of an EOR service consists of two main components:

1. Salary and employment-related costs of the staffed employee

The minimum salary level is determined in accordance with the applicable Collective Agreements. Employment-related costs include social security contributions, pension contributions and statutory insurances, which are typically around 20–25% of the gross salary.

2. Eezy’s service fee

The service fee is defined based on the assignment, either as a gross salary multiplier (the most common pricing model) or as a fixed monthly fee.

Frequently asked questions

What Is an EOR (Employer of Record)?

An EOR is a service designed especially for foreign companies, where a local partner acts as the legal employer of the employees. The EOR is responsible for employment-related obligations, including employment contracts, payroll, tax-related obligations, insurances, and compliance with applicable labour laws and Collective Agreements. The Customer remains responsible for the day-to-day direction of the work. EOR partner is not primarily responsible for selecting employees. Recruitment can be provided separately, where needed.

Do I need a Finnish legal entity to hire in Finland?

Not necessarily. With Eezy’s EOR service, we act as the local official employer for your workforce in Finland.

Who is the legal employer — Eezy or the Customer?

Eezy is the legal employer. The Customer retains responsibility for directing and supervising the day-to-day work.

What does EOR cost in Finland?

The staffed employee’s pay is determined by the applicable Collective Agreement. On top of that, Eezy charges either a gross salary multiplier or a fixed service fee, depending on the assignment. Additional services may be agreed separately. Please contact us for a tailored quote.

Which industries are EOR services suitable for?

EOR services are suitable for a wide range of industries. Eezy has specialised expertise in construction, industrial and technical projects, including industry-specific requirements.

How long does it take to get started?

Timelines vary depending on the situation. Once the agreement is in place, the process can typically begin quickly. If international hires require residence permits the overall timeline will depend on those processes.

Can Eezy act as an EOR partner for a candidate we have already identified?

Yes. Eezy can act as the employer partner for a pre-identified candidate and take responsibility for employment-related obligations, including the employment contract, payroll and compliance with statutory requirements throughout the employment relationship.

What Is the difference between EOR and PEO?

In a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) model, employer responsibilities are shared with the Customer through a co-employment arrangement. In an EOR model, employer responsibility rests solely with the EOR provider. In Finland, the model used in practice corresponds to the EOR structure.

Is there an alternative to EOR for independent professionals?

Yes. For independent professionals, Eezy offers a light entrepreneurship service as an alternative to an employment relationship.
