GEMM-01EOR-Core

GEMM-01EOR-Core

Global Core Hire · EOR / Core

Full-time employee engaged via Employer of Record (EOR) with complete, indefinite integration into the core team. The lowest permanent establishment (PE) risk of all 16 GEMM modes, because the EOR entity acts as the legal employer, creating separation from PE liability under the OECD 2025 Model Tax Convention. Ideal for strategic hires with long-term ownership of critical systems. Typical all-in cost: $5,900–$7,150/month for a Senior Software Engineer in Colombia.
