Globalization Partners, step by step

  1. Request a proposal

    Tell G-P the countries, roles and salaries. You'll get a quote starting at $599 per employee a month, lower at volume.

  2. Review the contract

    Ask about deposits, setup and offboarding fees, the notice period to end service, and whether G-P or a partner employs your worker in that country.

  3. Onboard the hire

    G-P issues a locally compliant employment contract, sets up payroll and enrolls benefits.

  4. Run payroll and HR

    You approve payroll and expenses on the G-P platform; G-P pays the employee and handles local tax filings.

  5. Offboard or move them

    End employment under local law through G-P, or transfer the employee to your own entity once you open one.

Globalization Partners legitimacy and licensing

Yes. Globalization Partners, LLC does business as G-P from Boston and says it has more than a decade of global employment experience, 180+ countries covered and 200+ global partners. The BBB rates it A+ with no complaints in three years, though it isn’t accredited. On Trustpilot it scores 4.3 out of 5 from 147 reviews.

G-P is an employer of record (EOR), not a US PEO: it becomes the legal employer of your workers abroad. Because it works with partners in some places, ask whether G-P’s own entity or a partner will employ your worker in each country.

G-P pricing explained

G-P now posts starting prices. EOR starts at $599 per employee a month, with volume discounts. Contractor management starts at $39 per contractor a month, and you’re only charged in months you pay that contractor; above 10 contractors G-P offers lower rates. G-P Gia, its AI compliance assistant, starts at $500 per seat a month with a 14-day free trial.

The EOR fee comes on top of salary, employer taxes and benefits, which vary a lot by country. Ask for a full monthly cost per country, plus any deposit, setup or termination fees, before you sign.

How G-P's employer of record service works

You choose the person and set the job and salary. G-P issues a local employment contract, registers the employee, runs payroll in 150+ currencies, files local taxes and enrolls statutory benefits. You manage day-to-day work; G-P handles employment law, payroll and offboarding. There is no minimum contract length for EOR hires.

What customers say about Globalization Partners

Recurring themes across the review sites and complaint records listed above, not individual quotes.

Common praise

  • Knowledgeable, responsive account managers
  • Easy-to-use platform for global hiring and payroll
  • Smooth onboarding
  • Help with country-specific employment rules

Common complaints

  • Delayed contractor payments
  • Support quality that varies by agent
  • Paperwork and delays during onboarding and offboarding
  • Incomplete answers to detailed questions

Complaints and how to avoid problems

Most Trustpilot reviews praise account managers and the platform. The negative ones repeat a few issues: contractor payments that arrive late, support quality that depends on the agent, and slow onboarding or offboarding paperwork.

  • Confirm payroll cutoff dates and payout timing for each country.
  • Name one account contact and an escalation path in your agreement.
  • Ask how long onboarding takes in each country before you set a start date.
  • Get the offboarding process and any severance costs in writing.

Ending service with G-P

G-P says there’s no minimum contract length for EOR hires. Your agreement still sets the notice period and fees for ending service, and ending an employee’s job abroad must follow local law, which can require notice pay or severance. If you’re moving workers to your own entity, ask G-P how transfers work and what they cost.

The rules that protect you and your workers

Using an EOR shifts employment paperwork to G-P, but you still direct the work. Misclassifying employees as contractors can bring back taxes and penalties in many countries, which is why G-P runs classification checks in its contractor product. For US tax questions about paying people abroad, see IRS Publication 515 or a tax adviser.
