in days, not weeks.

- Dedicated Slack channel with a Shor founder, not a support queue
- Bugs and product requests go straight to the team building Shor
- Based in SF? A founder will come onboard you in person

What is included in the EOR fee?
Choose a country to see Shor's monthly EOR fee per employee. Salary, employer contributions and benefits are separate employment costs. Currency conversion carries a disclosed 2% FX margin. Any country-specific deposit is quoted before signing and is separate from the monthly fee.
No setup fees, minimums or annual lock-ins. Month-to-month with 30-day cancellation. Employee notice and severance obligations still follow local law. Comparing another provider's quote? Compare the same country, salary, benefits, FX and deposit terms.

The things you'd ask on a 30-minute intro call. Direct answers.
Three places where the difference is real:
Price. Standard EOR is $299/month per employee. Deel and Remote charge $599. We charge half. Region-based pricing means you pay the real cost of operating in each country, not a flat enterprise rate.
Support. A founder is in your Slack, not a ticket queue. When something breaks, you talk to the person who can actually fix it.
Transparency. Flat 2% FX margin disclosed on every receipt. No setup fees, no minimums, no annual lock-ins. Month-to-month with 30-day cancellation.
