Get dedicated HR experts, predictable (and transparent) pricing, and support for complex employee situations—without juggling multiple vendors. Oyster is an Employer of Record that helps you employ and care for talent in 180+ countries—without opening legal entities or stitching together local vendors. From one intuitive platform, you can generate compliant contracts, run payroll, and offer competitive, country-specific benefits to employees and contractors around the world. But software is only half the story. When you are navigating a termination in France, figuring out benefits benchmarks in Singapore, or supporting someone who wants to move from Germany to Portugal, a help article isn’t enough. With Oyster, you get in-house HR and legal experts who know local laws and cultural nuances and can respond in minutes, not days. They’re not an add-on or an outsourced call center. They’re part of what you’re paying for. For your US workforce, Oyster PEO lets you outsource payroll, benefits, and HR administration through a co-employment model. We act as the administrative employer, managing payroll, benefits, retirement, and compliance, while you stay focused on directing work, performance, compensation, and career growth. It’s a simple way to stay compliant and competitive in the US without building a large HR function in-house. We also believe how you build your team matters as much as who you hire. Oyster is the only B Corp-certified global employment provider in the market, which means we’re independently vetted for how we treat people and run our business. Our pricing is transparent and predictable—no surprise fees for offboarding, benefits administration, or “gotchas” buried in the invoice. For HR, Legal, Finance, and C-suite leaders, that adds up to less risk, fewer distractions, and more room to focus on growth. You move into new markets faster, give every team member a fair and consistent experience, and know you have a partner who’ll tell you the right thing to do, not just the easy thing. If you’re planning to expand globally—or want more confidence in how you run your US and international teams—Oyster is here to help you do it right. * * * Product Website Oyster Seller [Oyster](https://www.g2.com/sellers/oyster-0b7bddd7-f6e0-4a4b-a2d4-c5adc112dd9b) Discussions [Oyster Community](https://www.g2.com/products/oyster-oyster/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Mathilde Dechansiaud (Demand Gen at Oyster | Work from Anywhere Advocate ✨) Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Oyster. ### EOR Employee of Record Starting at $699.00 Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/oyster-oyster/pricing) ## Oyster Integrations (13) What do users say about integrations?

They take away a lot of the friction of working across borders. I've had some issues with their local partner in Costa Rica (initially I didn't realize I wouldn't be hired by Oyster as EOR but by a 3rd party) but Oyster themselves were patient and supportive. I think they are a bit more expensive than some alternatives, but their support is also noticeably better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oyster?

Rather simple administrative set up for paying salary and claim expenses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oyster? Are not very familiar and cannot provide very common benefits provided by most employers to white color markets on the Swedish labour market. Do not appear well informed on how the labour market works in Sweden, focusing to much on applying to laws when in fact the very vast majority of rules regulations and benefits are determined by collective agreement which stipulates benefits, pensions, agreements on salary increase, insurance much more than the very low threshold that the legal frameworks implies. Hence applying only to legal requirements will make Oyster terms of employment less competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Oyster solving and how is that benefiting you? Provning an legal entity in Sweden making it possible to have an employment at a company based in UK without legal entity I'm Sweden.
