What is Oyster?
Oyster is a global employment platform that lets companies hire full-time employees and contractors in over 180 countries without setting up local legal entities. As an Employer of Record (EOR), Oyster takes on the legal employer responsibilities for compliance, payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits in each country, while also offering multi-country payroll, contractor payments, and US PEO services. The platform generates locally compliant employment contracts, manages onboarding and offboarding, and provides local benefits packages tailored to each country's requirements.
Businesses use Oyster to expand internationally and pay distributed teams accurately in local currency, with tools for managing expenses, time off, bonuses, and salary adjustments from a single dashboard. Oyster also offers HR advisory services through its People Partner offering and connects with common HRIS, ATS, and accounting tools. The company is a certified B Corp and says new US employees can be onboarded in as little as 48 hours from contract signature to active payroll.
