Opinions on the best way to record EOR invoices
We are a US-based organization (fewer than 20 total employees) and have our first "employee" based in a different country. We are using an employer of record (EOR) firm to ensure that we are in compliance with local tax and labor requirements in the country where this person lives. The EOR invoices us monthly, and the invoice is broken out into the EOR fee, the amount we contribute to the worker's benefits, and the amount that goes to the gross pay. All fine.
My question is how best to record this from an accounting perspective. We don't want to co-mingle it with our US employee payroll and benefits necessarily. We could create a GL code for the pay, the fees, etc. It's just that it's our first time with this kind of arrangement and wondering what others might lean toward for best practices. TIA for any thoughts.
