Manage your workforce anywhere, anytime
We provide expert advice in international employment, payroll, HR, and compliance solutions as the employer of record.
Introducing PEO services
Outsource your HR services to ensure compliance and reduce employer risks
What is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)
A PEO is a business entity that provides outsourcing of payroll, employee benefits, insurance, and HR functions to employers. The PEO hires the company’s employees, becomes the employer of record, and leases them back under contract to the employer. The PEO manages the payroll, taxes, and administration of HR and employee benefits on your behalf.
Our PEO Capabilities
Unlike your typical contractor management company, we offer our services as a Professional Employer Organisation (PEO).
We become the employer of record, and accept the responsibilities that this entails for your workforce. We will work in a consultative manner with your representative to ensure that you are fully aware of all the legalities and nuances of employing a workforce in a foreign jurisdiction. Allow us to manage all the complex matters of an international payroll correctly and compliantly with local employment regulations.
How it Works

Already have your own entity in the country?
With our ASO services, we can provide all the services as a PEO does, but within your own entity
You will still have to undertake all local compliance for the entity while we manage all your personnel. If you still prefer our ASO services however, we can undertake a transfer of all the employees to us and you can either close down your entity or make it dormant.
As an established Global Employer of Record and PEO, Stipenda enables you to build thriving global teams without the typical legal, HR, and financial headaches. We empower your global nomadic growth by taking care of nitty-gritty compliance and employment issues across 180+ countries.

Why STIPENDA for Global Workforce Solutions?
Expanding globally opens a world of possibilities, yet navigating disparate regulations across countries can overwhelm in-house teams. As an authoritative Global Employer of Record, our experts guide you at every turn:
Comprehensive Compliance
When managing international teams, falling out of compliance could lead to financial penalties, lawsuits, or criminal charges in extreme cases. You really don’t want to take chances when any missteps could completely derail your operations across regions.

We monitor legal changes across several countries while providing tailored advice. Whether you’re setting up new entities abroad or managing an existing global workforce, you can count on us for complete peace of mind.
Tailored Digital Nomad Visa Assistance
With the growing remote work trends, you likely have employees interested in extended international remote work. But do your remote workers know how to obtain the right visas and work permits? You see, complex visa rules could be a hard blow to them when they can’t live and work freely abroad.
As industry experts, we guide you through the nuances surrounding digital nomad visas with expert insights into the latest country-specific regulations. We handle the entire application process for you.
This includes assessing eligibility criteria, preparing paperwork, and finalizing visa terms so your employees can legally work for extended periods from their chosen destination.
Our bespoke visa assistance service eliminates all the complexity around digital nomad visas, so your global staff enjoys greater flexibility without compliance hassles.
Seamless Payroll & Benefits Management
When your teams are dispersed worldwide, handling payroll and benefits can be a serious pain in the neck. The question is, how do you manage payroll runs across disparate systems?
How do you account for complex country-specific deductions? Without a centralized payroll, your company will struggle with delays, errors, and inefficiencies.

Unlock the World with Digital Nomad Visas and Stipenda Expert Management
COVID-fuelled acceptance of remote work spawned many digital nomads – location-independent freelancers or employees functioning from far-flung destinations. Seeking deeper cultural immersions, digital nomads combine work productivity with traveling adventures.
Catering to this trend, countries like Italy, Costa Rica, Croatia, Thailand, Greece, Spain, and more started offering digital nomad visas, allowing longer overseas stays of up to 2 years in some cases. Typically, these tourist or freelancer visas need minimal eligibility proof related to remote income and healthcare coverage.
A digital nomad visa lets you legally live and work abroad without dealing with complex work permits or business setups overseas. But every country has its rules surrounding eligibility, application process, renewals and more.
Unless you understand these clearly, your employees could face rejection of their visa applications or struggles after arrival. This dampens the whole experience, leaving a bitter aftertaste that demotivates them.
We eliminate all complexity surrounding digital nomad visas – country selection, paperwork, approval wait times, post-arrival transition, renewals, and more based on current regulatory shifts. We smooth out the finer visa details so you and your remote team simply unlock a life of deeper cultural immersion. With us as your partners, you would be empowering your workforce’s remote aspirations while we shoulder intensive admin work surrounding visas, taxes, payroll and compliance across borders.

INTRODUCING Aüg SERVICES
Viable solutions for your contingent workforce to work in Germany
AüG licence in Germany
If you have a resourcing opportunity in Germany – and you intend to hire out or lease personnel to a German organisation – we’ve got you covered. Stipenda has proudly held an AüG licence since 2007. Trust our team to navigate the legal and compliance issues surrounding AüG licencing.
AüG Solutions
Consultants that undertake assignments in Germany may be unpleasanty surprised to discover that the client will insist on an AüG solution. Worse still – the Federal Employment Agency regulations require that an AüG licence holder engage directly with the end user of the labour.
Not to fear. We have extensive experience in arranging commercial agreements to satisfy these particular contingent workforce requirements. We can also have a direct contractual relationship with the end-user client, so you don’t have to worry about it.
How It Works
Simple. The agency invoices the end-user client directly on a margin-only basis. Or, in some cases, STIPENDA will invoice the end-user client for the contractor wages and the recruitment agency margin. In turn, we forward the margin through to the agency.
End-user clients in Germany dictate terms to their recruitment agencies. This helps ensure compliance with these regulations. Clients that require large contractor numbers (i.e. airlines, automotive firms, manufacturers, etc.) will enforce a fully employed AüG model.
Although this sounds like an added barrier to entry in Germany, this legislation also provides a safety net to the contingent worker. The consultants will be given access to the same employment conditions as permanent and domicile workers.
