Enabling fast retail store launch in Rome

A retail company needed to launch a new store in Rome but had no local entity in Italy. They required rapid hiring and onboarding of 24 retail employees within just 20 days to meet their store opening deadline. The challenge included navigating Italian employment laws, setting up compliant payroll and benefits, ensuring proper documentation for all employees, and meeting the tight timeline without compromising on compliance or quality of hire.

Jackson & Frank provided comprehensive Employer of Record (EOR) services in Italy, acting as the legal employer for all 24 retail employees. The solution included: rapid recruitment and hiring processes, Italian employment contracts compliant with local labor law, comprehensive benefits administration including statutory requirements, streamlined onboarding and training coordination, payroll setup and management, and ongoing HR support. This enabled the retail company to hire and manage a full store team without establishing a local entity.

Successfully hired and onboarded 24 retail employees in just 20 days, enabling the store to open on schedule. The EOR solution eliminated the need for a local entity while ensuring full compliance with Italian employment regulations. All employees were properly documented and ready to operate from day one, supporting a successful store launch without delays or compliance issues.
